SION, SWITZERLAND – A six-year-old boy from canton Vaud is in critical condition with internal injuries following a sledding accident in the resort of Haut Nendaz Sunday shortly before noon.

She immediately stopped; the boy, who was conscious, was immediately flow to the hospital in Sion and from there later transferred to the Chuv university hospitals in Lausanne.
