A British skier has died after losing control on a Swiss Alpine piste and crashing into a river.
The man, aged 54, was skiing near Grindelwald - a popular village in Switzerland’s Bernese Alps - when he crashed into the Rychenbach Stream. He was airlifted to hospital in the capital Bern after fellow skiers pulled him from the water and called the emergency services. The unnamed Brit tragically succumbed to his multiple injuries and died the following day. He was on an authorised run from the 6,800-foot-high Kleine Scheidegg pass when he suddenly lost control. Police are investigating the death.
