Serious traffic accident Monday in Zams in Tyrol (Landeck district)! A pedestrian (74) was hit by a 71-year-old’s car on a gravel road and suffered life-threatening injuries. The driver of the car wanted to back up and had apparently overlooked the pedestrian behind him.
As it became known on Wednesday, the 71-year-old Austrian drove his car to the ski slope around 8.30 am on Monday. “Part of the ski slope has been cleared of snow due to an event to allow vehicles to continue to the gravel parking lot below,” police said. The night before the accident, there were snowdrifts covering the gravel road and the 71-year-old was initially unable to get through with his car.
