Victims rescued
Avalanche accident in East Tyrol probably ended in safety
A winter sports enthusiast had a guardian angel on Saturday morning in the Villgratner mountains on Marchginggele in East Tyrol. He was caught in an avalanche, but was dug out in time by his companions.
The accident occurred at around 11.30 a.m. in the border area between East and South Tyrol. According to the Tyrol control center, a winter sportsman was caught in an avalanche on the East Tyrolean side of Marchginggele (2545 m) and swept away.
Airbag protruded from the avalanche
Comrades immediately began searching for the buried victim. Because, according to the control center, the open airbag was apparently visible on the surface, the person was quickly located and dug out.
According to the control center, the athlete was uninjured, but an emergency helicopter was initially on site to examine the athlete. The mission of the Sillian mountain rescue team was called off.
