Drama in Hopfgarten in the Tyrolean district of Kitzbühel on Sunday! Shortly after taking off with the paraglider, a German woman (66) fell into a gondola on the Salvenbahn 2. All help came too late for the woman. Two passengers in the gondola were also injured.
The tragedy happened shortly after 11am. The woman wanted to make a paragliding flight near the Hohe Salve. “For an unknown reason she fell against a gondola on Salvenbahn 2,” said a spokesperson for the Alpine police. The emergency doctor who arrived could only determine that the 66-year-old was dead.
Two passengers slightly injured
According to the police officer, “two passengers suffered minor injuries as a result of the collision with the gondola.” Further investigation is ongoing into the exact cause of the accident. Particularly tragic: according to an informant for the “Krone”, not only numerous other aviation athletes had to witness the accident, but also the son of the injured person.
