On New Year's Day, exploding New Year's firecrackers in St. Leonhard in the Pitztal in Tyrol (Imst district) led to an accident involving a carriage.
A 33-year-old female coach driver was standing between two stationary teams when the horses of her carriage shied away because of the firecrackers. The woman ended up under one of the horses. The second coachman freed her and provided first aid to the severely injured woman.
The Austrian woman was eventually flown to the Innsbruck clinic by rescue helicopter, the police reported. The ride with two carriages had taken place in the Mandarfen district. During a break, the 33-year-old stopped behind the first carriage and the passengers got out. As the woman stood between the two carriages and held the reins of the horses, the serious incident occurred.
