A serious skiing accident rocks the slopes in Hochpustertal in East Tyrol! There was a serious collision between two skiers in the Sillian ski area on Thursday afternoon. A 57-year-old German woman collided with an unknown skier, who only provided first aid after the incident and then left the scene of the accident without further support, it was reported krone.at.

According to witnesses, she was wearing striking red ski boots, a light blue ski jacket and black ski pants and was accompanied by a young girl.
