At least one person
was killed and another seriously injured on Saturday when an avalanche in the
Austrian Alps swept them down a steep, rocky slope, the Austrian
news agency
APA reported.
The two people,
whose nationalities and genders were not given, were among eight skiers
ascending a mountain near the village of Obergurgl just before 1300 CET/1200
GMT when they were caught in the snow slide at 3,000 meters (9842.52 ft) above
sea level.
At least two people
were uninjured and were able to notify rescue personnel.
The seriously
injured person was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Innsbruck.
