Witnesses wanted
Skiing accident: the person responsible left the injured person lying there
There was a serious skiing accident on the Stuhleck on Friday: a skier hit another winter sports enthusiast (43) from behind, causing him to fall into a wooded area and seriously injure himself. But instead of helping, the person who caused the accident simply drove on. The police are now looking for witnesses.
Taking responsibility in ski accidents is unfortunately no longer a matter of course on Austrian slopes, as a serious accident on the Stuhleck in Styria (Bruck-Mürzzuschlag district) on Friday once again showed.
At around midday, a cable car employee wanted to change his place of work and was making his way on skis to a lower-lying lift station. The 43-year-old was hit from behind by an unknown skier on piste 1 in the "Promibahn" mountain station.
Serious fall into the forest
As a result, the 43-year-old first fell against the edge of the piste and then further into a wooded area next to the piste. A winter sports enthusiast following behind made an emergency call - the person responsible for the accident, however, made off without helping the seriously injured man.
After receiving emergency medical treatment, the cable car employee was flown to Wiener Neustadt Regional Hospital by rescue helicopter.
The police are asking witnesses who can provide information on who caused the accident and how it happened to contact the Hochsteiermark Alpine Police: 059133-6251
