After the drama on the Hintertux Glacier in Tyrol, in which – reportedly – a 28-year-old Dutch woman died on New Year’s Day, the Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office is now investigating. The focus is on the operations manager and the operator.
The young woman fell on the red run No. 1 “Schwarze Pfanne” on Sunday and slid about 100 meters down the slope. Finally, she broke through the safety net, fell 20 meters and crashed into a tree. All help came too late for them.
As has now become known, the public prosecutor’s office in Innsbruck has launched an investigation on suspicion of negligent homicide and negligent bodily harm against the administrator and the Gletscherbahnen. A spokesperson confirmed to the APA on Wednesday a message from the online edition of the daily newspaper ‘Heute’. Now it is necessary to check whether the road safety obligations have been met. In addition, they want to clarify the cause of the accident and determine whether the tragedy could have been prevented. The investigation may take some time.
Not the only victim of old and new
In addition to the 28-year-old, her 27-year-old companion also fell and was seriously injured. Moments later, a 55-year-old German was seriously injured in the same area. This was already the fifth death within a few days, after a girl died on Christmas Day, two boys a day later and a Belgian on Thursday.
