Accident in East Tyrol
Mountaineer survives 50-meter fall
A tour in East Tyrol ended fatally for a German hiker (59). She fell 50 meters from a ridge, but survived with injuries.
The 59-year-old German woman was hiking with a group from the Kreuzspitze towards the Hinterer Sajatkopf in the municipality of Prägraten am Großvenediger at around 1 pm on Friday. She climbed downhill on a partly rocky path (ridge area) around 30 meters below the summit.
Fall ended on a ledge
The German woman left the path for unknown reasons, fell about 50 meters over steep, rocky terrain and came to rest on a ledge.
Companions descended and helped
People from the hiking group descended to the accident victim, administered first aid and set the rescue chain in motion. After first aid, the 59-year-old woman was flown to Innsbruck Hospital by the "Heli 4" rescue helicopter with serious injuries.
