Investigation of ex-skistar Runggaldier after fatal accident

The Austrian newspaper Der Standard reports that former ski racer Peter Runggaldier is under investigation for suspected negligent homicide after a fatal collision on June 23rd. The incident occurred on the road to Sellajoch in the Canazei municipality, where a 30-year-old German cyclist, known as a mountain guide, blogger, and outdoor influencer, died. Runggaldier, 57, was riding a motorcycle on the pass leading to Pordoijoch in the Trentino region when he collided with the cyclist during her honeymoon trip to South Tyrol. The woman was thrown onto the roadway and transported by helicopter to the hospital in Bolzano. Runggaldier sustained multiple fractures but cooperated with investigators, assisted in reconstructing the accident, and checked on the victim’s condition. Alcohol tests were negative, and there are no initial indications of speeding. Runggaldier had notable success in the 1990s in alpine skiing, including a World Cup win in super-G in 1995.
