A small plane crashed near Brand (A) on Monday morning. A large-scale operation is underway. The rescue services are already at the scene of the accident, the responsible rescue and fire department control center (RFL) confirmed to the Austrian news agency APA.
The aircraft came down in the area of the Untere Brüggele Alpe and thus in high alpine terrain. It was initially unclear how many people were on board and whether they survived.
The fire department, police, rescue workers and search dog teams took part in the large-scale operation. Due to the dense fog, helicopter support was not possible for the time being, it was reported. According to media reports, the crash was reported shortly after 10.00 am. Hut staff and hunters are said to have heard a bang and discovered wreckage shortly afterwards. The RFL confirmed that parts of the aircraft wings had been found. It is not yet clear where the plane came from.
