A 55-year-old local man suffered serious injuries in a forestry accident in Serfaus on Thursday afternoon. He was flown to Zams Hospital.
The accident occurred around 2:50 p.m. during logging work in a forest area in Serfaus, the so-called “Beutelboden” at an altitude of around 1,600 meters. A 55-year-old entrepreneur from a timber and transport company was busy with the felling work. The local man was supported by his 32-year-old son by operating the winch on the parked tractor. Mountain rescue rescued victims When they tried to pull a tree trunk attached to a rope over the embankment below a forest path, the trunk tipped over a hill and buried the 55-year-old. He was trapped under the tree trunk and sustained serious injuries to his chest. The son made an emergency call and the Fiss mountain rescue service freed the accident victim. The emergency medical helicopter flew the victim to the hospital in Zams.
