What to do if there's a "crash" on the slopes? The "OÖ-Krone" wanted to know from an alpine police officer how to react correctly in the event of an accident and what the penalties are for misconduct. The expert also explains why and where collisions occur most frequently.

This incident recently caused outrage among Krone readers: On Wednesday, a 10-year-old boy crashed into an 84-year-old man on the Kasberg, who remained unconscious for a short time after the crash. After the senior citizen regained consciousness, the child and his father simply drove on.
