Serious skiing accident in Fieberbrunn: Police are looking for witnesses!

A serious skiing accident caused a stir in the popular ski area of ​​Fieberbrunn in Tyrol on December 12, 2024. At around 11.40 a.m., a 60-year-old Austrian skier collided on the blue slope number 102 with a previously unknown skier, who immediately left the scene of the accident without providing first aid or leaving his contact details. According to information from 5min.at, the injured woman was quickly taken to St. Johann Hospital, where she needs to be treated for her serious injuries.

The Tyrol police have now launched an investigation to identify the person who caused the skiing accident. A witness to the incident could provide crucial information, but no further information about him is known yet. The witness is asked to report to the Kirchberg police station in Tyrol in order to shed light on this incident. This type of accident is worrying and puts the focus on safety on the slopes, especially after three serious skiing accidents were recently reported in Sölden, according to tirol.ORF.at.

The incidents in Tyrol once again bring to mind the discussion about the responsibility of skiers. It is extremely important that even in accidents that are not your fault, the injured person is offered help. In this sense, everyone is called upon to be vigilant and to act quickly in an emergency to help the injured and perhaps find missing witnesses.
