A skier had a fatal accident on a descent on the Zugspitze. According to the police, the 30-year-old was driving on a slope in the Wetterwandeck area in the afternoon when she fell for reasons that have not yet been clarified.
Subsequent skiers found the woman from North Rhine-Westphalia, who had worn a helmet on the descent, with serious injuries behind a crest. She was then treated by the mountain rescue service and then taken to a clinic by rescue helicopter. She succumbed to her injuries there shortly afterwards.
The Garmisch-Partenkirchen Police Inspectorate has started investigating how the accident happened and is asking witnesses who saw the fall to contact the police.
