The Austrian prosecutor has launched a criminal investigation into the death of a 28-year-old Dutch skier in Austria. Death may have occurred through negligence or negligence. One of the suspects is the manager of the runway where the accident took place.
The woman fell on Sunday during a descent from the Hintertux glacier in Tyrol. She broke through the safety net and then flew into a tree. Her 27-year-old friend also fell and was seriously injured. She was taken away by helicopter and is in a hospital in Innsbruck.
On the same day, two other incidents occurred in the same area. A 55-year-old German woman fell half an hour later in the same spot as the Dutch women. This led to questions as to whether the safety rules had been followed enough and whether further warnings were needed.
Justice in Austria is questioning whether there is manslaughter and bodily harm caused by negligence. One of the suspects is the manager of the runway where the accidents took place, reports the Tyrolean Tageszeitung.
