Everyone is alive after avalanche in Austria
Budrigannews.com – The Austrian Press Agency (APA) reported on Monday that a search and rescue operation was suspended after the last two people who were missing following an avalanche in the Lech/Zuers skiing area in western Austria contacted authorities late on Sunday.
According to the APA, the initial suspicion that 10 people were buried by the avalanche was based on a skier’s video. The avalanche occurred just before 3 p.m. (1400 GMT) on Sunday.
One person was rescued from the snow quickly and flown to the Innsbruck hospital with serious injuries. There were four injuries total.
APA stated that during the course of Sunday evening, the remaining individuals who could be seen on the video came forward. Initially, some individuals who had independently descended into the valley did not disclose their involvement in the avalanche.
