A 62-year-old female skier from Germany was involved in a serious incident on Friday afternoon at the Schlick 2000 ski resort in Telfes, located in the Stubai Valley of Tyrol. According to police reports, she was struck from behind by an unidentified skier, causing her to lose balance and collide with a 63-year-old compatriot who was skiing ahead of her.

The collision resulted in both skiers falling, and the German woman was left unconscious at the scene. Meanwhile, the other skier was unharmed and provided initial assistance.
