Cable car gondola knocks 58-year-old into stream bed
An unusual accident at work occurred on Thursday in Serfaus: A 58-year-old man must have overlooked the gondola of a cable car, he was rammed by it and pushed into the bed of a stream.
The accident happened at around 8.15 am while the cable car was in operation near a valley station: the local man was tasked with planting seedlings at support no. 1. The work area was actually outside the access and departure route of the cable car.
Man entered the cable car route
For unknown reasons, the man stepped onto the access road and was hit by an approaching gondola. He was pushed about two meters over an embankment into a stream bed. The accident was not witnessed by any other employees, but the 58-year-old was able to make his own way to a colleague who provided first aid for his injuries.
He then sought medical attention and was taken to Zams Hospital by ambulance with serious injuries.
