A Schleicher ASK 21, which was being towed, hit several trees and fell at the end of Nummela Airport (EFNU). The tail of the glider broke off and the wings were broken. The two people on the plane, a flight instructor and a student, were transported by ambulance to the hospital to be checked. The cause of the accident is a sudden, very heavy downpour, which surprised those in both the tractor and the glider at the end of the field.
