In Göstling an der Ybbs (Scheibbs district), a 72-year-old grandmother and her three grandchildren went for a walk in the Mendling Valley in the afternoon. A gust of wind likely uprooted a fir tree that fell on the group of hikers. A four-year-old girl was struck by the tree and died, police confirmed Sunday a report from noe.ORF.at.
The Mendlingtal Adventure Trail was closed Saturday morning due to the storm. When the wind died down, the doorway opened again. “Then a refreshing gust, a strong wind, was a complete surprise and broke several healthy trees,” Mayor Friedrich Fahrnberger (ÖVP) told ORF.
