An 85-year-old had a fatal accident in the Salzburg-Styria border region. The German, who was traveling with his granddaughter, lost his balance and fell 50 meters into a rocky gully. For him, all help came too late.
In Pongau, on the border with Styria, an 85-year-old German man fell and was fatally injured on Wednesday afternoon while walking with his granddaughter. According to the police, the man lost his balance during the descent and fell almost 50 meters into a rocky gully. It is assumed that the victim suffered life-threatening injuries in the fall; he could only be found dead.
Unfavorable wind conditions
The granddaughter called immediately after the crash and tried to reach her grandfather, who was injured. The rescue of the 85-year-old with the help of a rescue helicopter proved very difficult due to the unfavorable wind conditions, according to the police, who started investigating the accident.
