An apparently fun trip with a quad took two locals (27 and 28) from the ski slope in See in the Paznaun Valley (Tyrol) on Wednesday evening straight to the hospital. The two occupants were thrown from the vehicle and some were seriously injured. A doctor had to be taken to the scene of the accident by gondola.
It was just before 5 p.m.: Slope No. 10 in the See ski area in the Paznaun Valley was already closed for skiing. A 29-year-old ran with the tracked vehicle towards the Medrigjochbahn mountain station. In the passenger seat were a 27-year-old Austrian and a 28-year-old Austrian.
Woman caught by the caterpillars
The vehicle skidded near a ski slope. “The 27-year-old fell off the quad bike and was probably hit by the caterpillars on her left arm and lower left leg, seriously injuring the woman,” police said. The 28-year-old was also thrown from the vehicle, then fell off a very steep shoulder and suffered serious injuries.
No daily storage
The driver was able to hold onto the vehicle and was unharmed. A casually passing employee of the mountain railway immediately made an emergency call and started providing first aid to the injured. “Due to darkness, rescue with the emergency helicopter was no longer possible,” explains the management. Because the transport of the seriously injured could not take place without medical care, a doctor had to come to the scene with the gondola lift and a Skidoo.
After first aid at the scene of the accident, the two injured people were taken by Skidoo and Akja to the top station and from there by gondola down to the valley floor, where they were taken over by the rescue team and taken to Zams Hospital.
