In the ski area of Sölden, two serious ski collisions occurred in a short time on Friday. Two skiers were left injured while those involved in the accident fled undetected.
Case 1: There was a collision between a snowboarder and a skier on the red run no. 7b (“Gaislachkogel”) on Friday around 1 pm. A 39-year-old German rode his snowboard very slowly down the slope in a southeasterly direction. At the same time, a hitherto unknown skier was also skiing down the slope.
Snowboarder complained of severe pain
The unknown skier hit the snowboarder from behind and to the left across the front of his snowboard, causing him to fall. Because of the severe pain, he independently informed the piste rescue service. After first aid, he was flown by the emergency medical helicopter “Alpin 2” to the BKA in Zams with injuries of undetermined extent.
Unknown woman drove over skis
Case 2 happened just 1.5 hours later on the blue run No. 3b (“Gaislachkogel”). A 52-year-old German national skied very slowly down the slope eastward down the valley. At the same time, a hitherto unknown skier was also skiing down the slope.
The unknown skier drove the German winter sportsman over her skis, causing her to fall. The unknown person continued up the valley. The woman alerted the track rescue service. She performed first aid and then took her to the sports clinic “Medalp” in Sölden with injuries of undetermined extent.
