66-year-old woman dies after falling off a cliff in the woods of the Vicenza area

A 66-year-old woman died after falling off a cliff in the woods of the Vicenza area. The woman was looking for mushrooms with her husband near Fort Monte Maso, when she fell one hundred meters into a canal.

The dynamics of the accident

The couple had started from the Spianamenti area, and then entered the trees, when, along a steep slope of sparse woods, the victim slipped, disappearing from the sight of his companion. The man raised the alarm around 9.30 am and a team from the Schio Alpine Rescue team arrived on the scene. For the woman originally from Valli del Pasubio (Vicenza), who in the meantime had been joined by her husband, there was nothing that could be done: she died due to the trauma sustained in the fall. The police were also on site.
