Paragliders Crashed in Salzach

The two women - a 45-year-old paraglider and her 35-year-old flight student - were part of a training group from Germany. During a training flight, the two deviated from their planned route due to unexpectedly strong wind currents and subsequently crashed into the Salzach with their paragliders.

As reported by the police, both women drifted several hundred meters downstream after the crash but were eventually rescued from the water by other flight students. The two women sustained injuries of an undetermined degree in the accident. One of the pilots suffered severe hypothermia and was flown to the district hospital in St. Johann in Tirol by rescue helicopter.
