Catastrophe in the mountains

At least six people were killed on Sunday by an ice slide on the slopes of the Marmolada, the highest mountain group in the Dolomites in northern Italy. The ice, which broke off the summit of the Marmolada, also crushed several groups of hikers attempting to reach the summit, reports Telex. According to local rescuers, the snow buried dozens of people, but they are still searching for more missing people.

Gianpaolo Bottacin, a civil protection adviser for the Veneto province, provided information to ANSA Italy. He said that they were able to rescue nine injured civilians. He added that a lot of people are still missing, but they continue to search for them. Caught on camera is the ice breaking off the mountain summit.

Local officials were also investigating the nearest car park from the disaster site. They have confirmed that an empty car with a Hungarian licence plate has been found, reports Index.

On Monday, MTI contacted Máté Paczolay, spokesperson of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry. He told that a group of Hungarians travelled 3,300 metres in altitude into the Marmolada ridge. That is when the landslide occurred. Other than the vehicle mentioned above, locals found another car, which also belongs to Hungarians.

Italian officials used a helicopter to rescue a group of eight Hungarians after the disastrous accident. All eight survivors were transported safely away from the disaster site.
