A fatal ski collision in Harrachov, Czech Republic, has left an elderly woman dead after a skier on a monoski crashed into her. The incident happened on a red-level slope last Friday. Authorities are now appealing for witnesses to help with their investigation.

The crash took place on a red-run descending from Devil's Mountain. The victim, an older woman, died following the impact with the monoski rider. Her daughter has publicly asked anyone who saw the accident to share what they know.
