Skiers saw accident
Driver (59) unconscious after rollover with skidoo
A terrible accident occurred on Sunday morning in the Fiss ski area (Landeck district)! A local man overturned his skidoo during a control run and was left unconscious. Skiers saw the accident and alerted the emergency services.
The 59-year-old local man was on a skidoo (a snowmobile) provided by his employer on black piste no. 17 in the Fiss ski area shortly before 9 am. During his control run, the vehicle became faster and faster on a slope that was around 40 degrees steep at around 2300 meters above sea level.
The man could no longer control the vehicle. A short time later, it spun into a dip, plunged into the snow with its runners and overturned. The driver fell from the skidoo and lay unconscious.
The 59-year-old regained consciousness at the scene of the accident and complained of severe pain in his chest area.
