Update as of ~4:30PM EST from John Good:

Wreckage has been located from the air by helicopter.
Downed pilot is injured but called 911 immediately after
the crash and later talked to the rescue helicopter
pilot by radio.
EMT crew has the coordinates and is on the way.

Keep your fingers crossed...

Pilot is in the helicopter en-route to hospital.
Spoke to his wife by phone, is conscious, alert,
and banged up.

Fingers crossed...

Earlier report was inaccurate despite triple-check.
Pilot is now just at hospital, injuries appear not life
threatening.
Fingers crossed...

Five pilots with no flight logs on the scoresheet today - hoping for no serious injuries.

A search of the news will yield you a pretty precise location of the accident when put into Google maps as well as the name of the company the glider is registered to. A search of the FAA database will yield the type of glider and a glance at the score sheet will tell you the rest...

Pilot is Brian Milner. He is in the hospital with a cervical compression injury.
Treatment not yet determined.
He is in pain but otherwise fine.
Rescue involved 2 helicopters which must be a record.
This will be an interesting rescue story to be told by folks that were there.
