The alpine accident occurred around 1 p.m. The Austrian had reached the top of the almost 2,300 meter high Hochiss in Eben. When the hiker wanted to start the descent, that happened. The 79-year-old slipped and fell several meters over steep, rocky terrain.
Other hikers provided first aid
The man was seriously injured in the crash. Other hikers saw the accident and provided first aid. The injured person was rescued by a rope by an alarmed rescue helicopter and flown to Schwaz hospital.
