Avalanches kills six in Austria
Avalanche
Avalanches killed six people in Austria Sunday in two separate incidents, police said.
At least five people were swept away Sunday morning by a large avalanche on a mountain in Upper Austria, part of a group walking in snowshoes on the Dachstein range.
Local police said five bodies had been recovered from the avalanche, which began 9,200 feetup. The victims were thought to be from the Czech Republic, they added.
Although they did not think there were other victims, mountain rescue workers were searching the site, team leader Christoph Preimesberger told the sources.
