The toboggan tour of a Tyrolean school class ended Thursday for a girl in the clinic in Innsbruck with a broken pelvis and a possible liver rupture. The 15-year-old had driven down a ski slope on a sled and crashed into a lift hut.
In the late morning, a school class from the Schwaz district went on a toboggan trip with a teacher to the Kellerjoch ski area (municipality of Pill). When they arrived at the Hecherhaus, they first rode their sleds along the toboggan run to the parking lot of the valley station.
Suddenly he lost control of the sled
There it was decided to continue the descent via the blue marked ski slope towards the valley station of the Grafenast-Arbeser chairlift shortly before 1 p.m. “The teacher guided the students individually,” police said. When two students (15 and 14 years old) rode together on a sled down the slope and went faster and faster, they lost control of the sled. As the 14-year-old sitting in the back fell from the sled, her classmate initially drove the sled through a banner marked “Slow” without braking and then collided with the exterior wall of the lift cabin.
With serious injuries to the clinic in Innsbruck
“The 15-year-old was seriously injured as a result of the impact,” investigators said. A witness to the accident and the teacher immediately provided first aid and started the rescue chain. The victim was flown to the clinic in Innsbruck with the rescue helicopter “Alpin 5”. There, the 15-year-old was diagnosed with a pelvic fracture and a possible liver rupture. The 14-year-old was unharmed in the fall.
