2nd accident in 3 days
Graz man (66) killed in skiing accident
On Friday, a 66-year-old winter sports enthusiast died in an unfortunate fall in the Styrian ski resort of Lachtal. It was only on Wednesday that a skier from Lower Austria had a fatal accident in Lachtal.
After a 50-year-old skier was killed in an accident in Lachtal on Wednesday, a 66-year-old skier from Graz died in an accident on the same slope on Friday morning.
According to the police, the skier was skiing down the red slope no. 6 with his wife and a friend at around 10:15 am. His companions had skied ahead. After the 66-year-old did not reappear and could not be located even after several calls and search trips, his wife and the missing man's friend called the piste rescue team for help.
Falling off the piste
A large search operation was launched immediately. The man was eventually found motionless in the open terrain next to the piste. Resuscitation attempts were unsuccessful.
The man from Graz probably lost control of his skis and fell about 25 meters beyond the edge of the piste into open, snow-poor terrain. According to the police, the accident was not caused by a third party.
