Accident with a GROB-ASTIR CS (G102) aircraft in Halmstad

During a flight with the glider with registration SE-THY at Halmstad Airport, an accident occurred as the aircraft was preparing to land. The pilot perceived that the aircraft was losing altitude more rapidly than usual and therefore shortened the approach by turning toward the runway earlier than planned. At the end of the flight, the left wing struck a tree, and the aircraft crashed uncontrollably into the ground. The pilot sustained serious injuries, and the aircraft suffered extensive structural damage.
