Glider pilot Steve Evans dies five days after Gwernesney crash

A pilot died five days after his glider crashed in Monmouthshire.

Steve Evans's glider flipped over on take-off at South Wales Gliding Club in Gwernesney, near Usk, on 27 July.

Police at the time said the 54-year-old had suffered serious injuries, which were not thought to be life-threatening.

But Gwent Coroner's Office confirmed Mr Evans, from Glynneath, Neath Port Talbot, died on 1 August at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said its investigation was ongoing.
