Due to the breaking off of a snowcatcher, a 59-year-old German fell over steep rocky terrain in the Zillertal (Tyrol) on Sunday afternoon. The sons of the victim raised the alarm. Her father was eventually discovered by the police helicopter crew during a search flight and flown to hospital.
It should have been a nice hike with his sons, but the mountain trip ended for the father with serious injuries in the hospital. The three were previously on their way to Brandberger Kolm. “While his sons were waiting for their father in the Kolmhaus, the 59-year-old climbed to the top alone,” police said. The accident happened around 3 p.m. on the descent. The demolition of a snowdrift had caused the man to fall over steep, rocky terrain.

After the sons could no longer reach their father, they made an emergency call. During the subsequent search flight of the police helicopter, the man was found and flown into the valley. He was taken to hospital in Schwaz.
