In the Pinzgau ski arena
Tyrolean (37) dies in snowmobile accident
Together with a 47-year-old colleague, a 37-year-old Tyrolean - both from the district of Schwaz - was on a snowmobile in the Wildkogel ski arena in the neighboring Pinzgau region of Salzburg on Saturday. For reasons as yet unexplained, the vehicle left the track and crashed into a steel girder. The 37-year-old suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene of the accident.
It was already dark when the two Tyroleans were driving a snowmobile along a prepared snow groomer track at around 2100 meters above sea level. The vehicle suddenly veered off the track to the right onto unpaved terrain, went out of control and crashed head-on into a steel girder. Both people were thrown from the vehicle as a result of the impact.
Snow groomer driver provided first aid
The 37-year-old Tyrolean suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene of the accident. Despite his injuries, the 47-year-old managed to draw the attention of a snow groomer driver. The latter set the rescue chain in motion and provided first aid. After first aid, the elderly man was flown to Innsbruck Hospital. The Salzburg public prosecutor's office ordered an autopsy of the deceased and a blood sample from the 47-year-old.
The police temporarily confiscated the vehicle involved in the accident. Investigations into the exact circumstances of the accident and who was driving the vehicle are ongoing.
