On Saturday morning, a 16-year-old local was fatally injured in an accident at the Salzburg ski area Shuttleberg Flachauwinkl-Kleinarl.

The teenager from Tennengau had jumped over a crest and overlooked a skier who had fallen below. The 16-year-old tried to avoid the fallen skier who was just getting up, veered off the slope, and crashed in open terrain. The young man succumbed to his severe injuries in the hospital.

Witnesses described the course of the accident. The Austrian was flown to the Schwarzach Clinic with serious injuries by rescue helicopter after the fall, where he passed away.
