Czech skier killed in Italian avalanche

A Czech skier was among three people killed in the Italian Alps on Saturday, according to news wire reports. The Czech victim was a 44-year-old man from Prague, the AFP news agency said. The Czech was among a group of skiers in the northern section of the Valle d’Aosta district. Avalanches killed two others in the same region on Saturday. The Italian government is reportedly considering a crackdown on reckless skiers who ignore safety warnings after a series of fatal accidents in recent weeks.
