While reversing
Car plunged over embankment, driver managed to jump off
On Sunday, a local man wanted to reverse his off-road vehicle into a swerve on a mountain road in order to attach chains to the vehicle. However, the car started to slide and skidded towards a slope.
At around 10.30 a.m. on Sunday, a 64-year-old local man was driving his car on a private road in Alpbach in the direction of the Bischoferalm. The driver stopped about 50 meters from the alpine pasture to reverse into a swerve and put on snow chains.
Vehicle started to slide
While reversing, the vehicle started to slide on the sloping, snow-covered road. The driver jumped out of the vehicle just before it skidded over the edge of the road.
The car then plunged over an approximately 70 percent steep embankment, overturned and was stopped by trees after about 20 meters. The driver was uninjured, but the vehicle was probably totaled.
