On Wednesday, a 42-year-old man died in a paragliding crash in the Salzburg Pongau region.

The man had taken off from Bischling in Werfenweng and subsequently crashed in rough terrain. The accident initially went unnoticed, and it was only when the 42-year-old did not show up for work on Thursday that his absence was noted, and a colleague reported the German as missing, the police reported on Friday.

During the search, an initial helicopter flight with a thermal imaging camera was unsuccessful. Therefore, the mountain rescue service was alerted, which, together with the alpine police, initiated a search. The missing person from Germany was found during this search.
