Child skier airlifted to hospital after crash
A ten-year-old schoolgirl has been airlifted to hospital after skiing into a tree during a family holiday.
She was seriously injured after heading down a slope towards a wooded valley in the Austrian resort of Mayrhofen and crashing into a tree at high speed.
Her family gave her emergency first aid at the scene before a rescue helicopter took her to hospital in Innsbruck.
The girl was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident but was still unconscious on arrival at hospital, reports the Daily Mail.
Rescuers said the slope was packed full of skiers as it is ‘the busiest time of the season’.
