A glider was forced to make a crash landing in Lake Tahoe this weekend. The pilot was not hurt.

The Coast Guard and Placer County Sheriff’s Office both responded to the incident.

Once Coast Guard members arrived on scene, they pulled the glider ashore with the help of some Good Samaritans.

No word yet on why the pilot landed in the water.
