Avalanche in Abruzzo, a 45-year-old hiker dies

Tragedy in the mountains of Abruzzo. A 45-year-old man - Luca Nunzi - died when he was hit by an avalanche on Sirente during an excursion together with some companions. It was they who raised the alarm to the 118 operations center in L'Aquila which immediately sent the air ambulance to the scene.

The Alpine Rescue Technician present on board the emergency aircraft, once winched at the point, immediately identified the victim but unfortunately the 45-year-old's condition immediately appeared critical and the doctor present on board the helicopter, in the meantime disembarked on site , could not help but confirm his death.

The recovery operations of the body and of the trip companions by land were then started by the technicians of the Abruzzo Alpine and Speleological Rescue and the men of the Guardia di Finanza mountain rescue.
