The worst danger of aperous areas beyond the edge of the piste seems to be over after the recent snowfall. Nevertheless, there were again several serious accidents on the Tyrolean ski slopes. In one case – as is so often the case – there was a hit-and-run.
On Monday around 11.30 a.m., a German skier (46) was on the edge of the red piste number 4 in the Hochzillertal ski area when suddenly a skier behind him crashed into him and the skis, poles and backpack were “torn off” the person standing. as he testified. The unknown skier also fell. But he continued the journey without disclosing his details. An acquaintance of the accident victim then followed the boy to get the data, but this failed. Any witnesses are asked to contact the Ried im Zillertal police station on 059133/7253. Personal description of the second winter sports athlete involved. The unknown person speaks German and is around his mid-20s. What was particularly noticeable was his bright blue ski jacket with an Italy logo on the side; he was riding freeride skis from the brand “K2”, color beige. Man resuscitated in Sölden On Monday around 12.40 p.m. there was a collision between two skiers on a ski slope in the Ötztal. A 44-year-old German lost control of his skis for reasons that are still unclear and fell. He hit his head on the slope and then collided with a 15-year-old skier from Belarus. The man had to be resuscitated on site by an Alpine police officer and people from the Sölden piste rescue service. He was transferred to Zams Hospital by emergency medical helicopter. The 15-year-old second victim suffered bruises on her back and was treated as an outpatient in the valley. Against stone blocks in KühtaiOn Sunday, a 38-year-old Chinese man went over the edge of the piste with his skis in the Kühtai ski area and fell onto stone blocks about ten meters away. The man sustained serious internal injuries. Due to the bad weather, a rescue by helicopter was not possible, so a terrestrial rescue was carried out. The injured person was taken to the Innsbruck clinic in an ambulance.
