A tragic plane crash occurred in Tyrol.
A small plane crashed in alpine terrain, two people were seriously injured.
It started in Bavaria.
Peiting / Sölden - As the photo agency Zoom.Tirol reports, there was an accident in the area of Obergurgl in Tyrol around 12.35 p.m. on Sunday.
A 40-year-old and a 32-year-old were on the plane; they had previously started in Peiting in the Weilheim-Schongau district.
Tyrol: plane crashed - it took off in Peiting
Apparently the pilot overlooked the rope of a material ropeway and tried to pull the aircraft up to avoid a collision.
It is still unclear whether this has succeeded.
In any case, the plane crashed in the alpine, partly snow-covered terrain at about 2725 meters and slid about 50 meters into the depth.
It was left there, badly damaged.

An emergency helicopter rescued the two seriously injured inmates who were flown to nearby hospitals.
