Fatal winter sports accident Friday in the Tyrolean Unterland: A 68-year-old Dutchman went off the slopes in the Fieberbrunn ski area and hit a wooden protection with full force. The holidaymaker remained unconscious.
The serious accident happened in the morning around 10 a.m. on a red marked slope. About 50 meters below the mountain station, the 68-year-old suddenly went over the edge of the slope for reasons that are still unclear. The Dutchman then collided head-on against a wooden wall, which serves as protection.
Helicopter flown to hospital
“The man lost consciousness from the force of the impact,” police said. After first aid at the scene of the accident, the injured holidaymaker was flown by ambulance helicopter to the district hospital in St. Johann in Tirol.
