A 17-year-old girl has suffered serious injuries in a skiing accident on the Stuhleck (Styria). The local girl collided with a 47-year-old Hungarian on the piste.

The collision occurred on St. Stephen's Day at around 9.45 am on the Stuhleck in the municipality of Spital am Semmering. The two skiers crashed into each other on piste 1 for unknown reasons. The 17-year-old was flown to Wiener Neustadt Regional Hospital with serious injuries, and the collision also ended painfully for the 47-year-old: he sought medical treatment on his own with suspected multiple rib fractures.

Paraglider pilot crashes in Obdach
A few hours later, another recreational accident occurred in the Styrian mountains: a 34-year-old man from Salzburg had problems with the wind conditions with his paraglider on the Geierkogel near Obdach in the Mur Valley. He fell to the ground from a height of several meters, but was able to call his wife and inform her of the accident. The emergency services provided first aid and took the sportsman to Graz Regional Hospital with injuries of indeterminate severity.
