"The incident occurred at the height of the New Year holidays. Thousands of tourists from all over Russia come to the Caucasus to go skiing at this time.
Apparently, one of the vacationers did not understand the routes of the track and went his own way down the mountain. The 43-year-old man drove at low speed across the slope. At the same time, another skier was coming down the main trail at high speed (about 70 km/h). He was unable to avoid a collision with the first skier.
Both skiers were carried several meters away from the impact. As the first one hit his forehead, he died instantly on the spot from a fracture of the skull base. The poor guy's head was literally blown off.
The second man, who was driving across the highway at a slower speed, survived. He is hospitalized, but there is no threat to his life. Now the case is being studied by investigators."
