Tobogganing accident in Kals: Father and daughter fall into the Kötnitzbach!

tragic toboggan accident in Kals on the Großglockner! On December 28, 2024, at 2:50 p.m., a 45-year-old German and his 11-year-old daughter dramatically fell into the Ködnitzbach while sledding. This terrifying event occurred when the father and daughter were traveling on the road from the Ködnitztal towards Lucknerhaus. In a dangerous right curve, they lost control and slipped across the edge of the path into the steeply sloping terrain.

The accident was observed by bystanders who immediately called for help and provided first aid. Due to the quick response, the emergency helicopter "Martin 6" and the mountain rescue in Kals at the scene of the accident could quickly be on hand to recover the injured. Both were then flown to the hospital in Lienz with injuries to the hospital, where they are medical care. The police already determined on site and the reports on the incident are now being forwarded to the Innsbruck public prosecutor and the district administration of Lienz, such as tt.com reported in detail.

This incident emphasizes the dangers of tobogganing in confusing terrain, because despite the supposed fun, unexpected situations can quickly lead to serious accidents. The exact process and possible causes of the accident are now being examined intensively in order to avoid future incidents, the police confirmed.

For the two injuries, it is now to be hoped that they can quickly recover from their injuries. The population in Kals on the Großglockner is in my thoughts and hopes for soon recovery.
