A field hospital was set up on the roadside to provide first aid
LUTTACH (Italy), Jan 7 (NNN-AGENCIES) — Six German tourists were killed and 11 injured in the Italian Alps when a car crashed into them, police say.
A suspected drunk driver collided with a group of people in the town of Luttach, also known as Lutago, in South Tyrol – a popular skiing destination.
Reports suggest the group had left a nightclub and were waiting to get in a bus when the car hit them.
The driver of the car – a man in his late 20s – was arrested and is currently in hospital.
Two people, who were in a very serious condition, were flown by helicopter to hospital in Innsbruck, Austria.
The others were transported to hospitals in the region.
Last weekend, three skiers – a woman and two girls – were killed by an avalanche in South Tyrol. They were also believed to be German. — NNN-AGENCIES
