Inner tube sledge girl seriously injured
A nine-year-old is in hospital with serious injuries after she crashed into a tree as she sledged on a tyre’s inner tube.
Police said the incident occurred yesterday (Mon) at 5:15pm on a snow-covered meadow near Eben in Pongau in Salzburg’s St. Johann district. The girl’s mother, 42, riding on a Skidoo was pulling her on the inner tube using a four-metre-long leash when she started swinging right and left on the slope and ran into a tree.
The girl, who was wearing a helmet, was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Salzburg.
It follows a freak accident on Sunday when a teenage girl skied off a piste onto a road and was hit by a car.
Police said the 13-year-old girl had been skiing down an unprepared piste en route to a ski arena when she fell as she came to a road she wanted to ski across, fell and slid into a car’s path in Styria’s Leoben district.
The girl was taken to the intensive care ward at Leoben provincial hospital with undetermined injuries.
