(ANSA) – VICENZA, SEPTEMBER 19 – A 24-year-old American hiker died after falling more than 150 meters from the Strada delle Gallerie sul Pasubio.

The hiker, who was with a friend at the exit of tunnel 23 / a, for reasons to be determined, lost his balance on the edge of the cliff and fell into the void. When the alarm was triggered, rescuers aboard a Verona Emergenza helicopter, starting from the coordinates of the drop point, reconnoitred and identified the body in one of the numerous channels at 1,500 meters above sea level. He then flew to the rendezvous with a team from Schio Alpine Rescue, tackled a rescuer to support operations, and lowered him with a 30-meter winch along with the crew’s helicopter rescue technician.

Once the approval for removal was obtained, the recomposed and incarnated body was recovered and transported to the Balasso Refuge. The other rescuers went to meet the boy’s companion, assisted by a couple who had witnessed the accident, to accompany him downstream to Bocchetta Campiglia. (HANDLE).
