6 Russians Killed in Italian Snowmobiling Accident

Six Russian tourists were killed and another two injured in a snowmobiling accident, Friday night.

It happened near a ski slope on Mount Cermis, in Trentino, Italy.

They had gone down an unlit trail, which is closed at night, and took a wrong turn, which sent them barreling down a hill, for several hundred feet.

Official reports make it sound as if all eight were on a single snowmobile.

Both of the injured were evacuated by helicopter, and one of them is in serious condition.

Mount Cermis has one of the highest accident reports, in the world, yet is still one of the most popular Alpine locations.
