A newborn baby was sent tumbling 160 feet down a mountain slope in Austria after the mother accidentally released the stroller.

The 10-week-old infant was transported by air to a hospital following the frightening incident.

The mother and her child were on an alpine hike on July 14 when this event took place.

During the hike, the mother had stopped to open a gate into a field, cops revealed.

But the buggy suddenly went hurtling down the slope, throwing the baby out when it crashed.

A police spokesperson said: “The pushchair rolled about 50 metres downhill and rolled over several times.

“The baby was thrown from the pushchair.

“Shortly before 1pm, the 23-year-old mother attempted to open a gate in front of the alpine pasture, when the pushchair suddenly began to move.”

Fortunately, a mountain rescue team was passing by and came to their aid.

They provided immediate first aid to the baby and brought the pair down to the valley.

The child received emergency treatment at the Zams hospital, after which it was helicoptered to the University Hospital in Innsbruck.

Hospital spokesperson Johannes Schwamberger told local media: “It is injured, but not life-threatening.”

The baby is in a paediatric intensive care unit “for safety and observation”.

The incident occurred on the way to Frommes Alp in Fiss municipality, local media has reported.

According to cops, the child’s father was also present during the trip.

It comes after a boy was left fighting for his life after a car ploughed into a trampoline before smashing into a barn in Germany.

The ordeal happened in a quiet German town when an SUV veered off the road and hit the child with full force.

The Volvo then went into the air and crashed into the roof of a nearby barn.

 A 43-year-old female passenger was seriously injured in the crash.

Others inside the vehicle sustained minor injuries.
