According to police reports, the man lost his footing while descending and fell almost 50 meters into a rocky gully. The accident victim probably sustained life-threatening injuries in the fall; he might only be recovered dead.
The granddaughter made an emergency call immediately following the crash and tried to get down to her grandfather. The rescue of the 85-year-old by rescue helicopter proved very difficult due to adverse wind conditions, according to the police, who began investigating the circumstances of the accident.
