Bavaria: Quad crashes in a gorge: driver still jumps off

Oberstaufen (dpa / lby) - With a jump from his quad, a man in Oberallgäu probably saved his life. As the police announced on Monday, the 60-year-old had strayed from an unpaved path on the Hochgratbahn in Oberstaufen. His vehicle crashed about 200 meters into a ravine on Sunday - the driver was able to jump off with the presence of mind and landed next to the path. Nevertheless, he was seriously injured and was treated by the mountain rescue service. It was initially unclear why the man lost his way.
