(CNN) A kite surfer who crashed into a beachfront home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Wednesday has died, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Stephen Gollan said. Fire rescue crews were dispatched to the home around 10 a.m. after reports that a man "had flown into the side of a residence," Gollan said. The kite surfer crashed into the north side of the home, a fire rescue official said. A bystander told fire rescue crews the man had launched from a beach a couple of homes down before striking the north side of the home, according to Gollan. The man's orange kite was still draped over the home's balconies while rescue crews were at the scene.
