With girlfriend to the alpine pasture
Tyrolean jumps from quad bike after crashing over steep slope
Spectacular leisure accident on Sunday afternoon in the Tyrolean lowlands: an 18-year-old local man came off a forest road on a quad bike and crashed over the adjacent steep slope. While the vehicle plummeted 40 meters, the driver was able to jump off after a few meters.
The accident occurred in the municipality of Rettenschöss in the district of Kufstein. The young man and a female companion (20) were riding quads from a mountain restaurant towards a mountain pasture.
Off the gravel road
After just 200 meters of driving, the 18-year-old suddenly veered off the gravel road to the right. "While the driver was able to jump off the quad bike after a few meters, it overturned and crashed downhill in the steep forest before coming to rest around 40 meters below the road," reported the police on Monday.
After first aid, the casualty was flown by helicopter to hospital in Kufstein.
