Terrible accident on Friday evening in Lech am Arlberg: two skiers who wanted to descend from a freshly prepared slope were hit by a reversing snowplow and run over.
The two winter sports enthusiasts, a 46-year-old and a 56-year-old man, wanted to ski down the valley at the RudAlpe inn around 7 p.m. At the same time, work on the ramp was carried out.
To get onto the groomed piste, the two skiers crossed the area behind the snowplow, which caused the accident. The snowplow caught the two reversing winter sports enthusiasts and drove them over, the police said. The two suffered serious injuries. After receiving first aid at the scene, the woman was taken to the Feldkirch hospital and the man to the Innsbruck clinic.
Dead in the Tyrolean Zillertal
As reported, a snowplow accident in Tyrol claimed one death on Wednesday afternoon. A snowboarder collided with a snowplow and died. The fateful journey was clearly a wrong decision by the experienced driver (61). He shouldn’t have been driving on the open runway. The investigation is ongoing.
