Serious skiing accident
The Center National Councilor suffered a serious accident on the ski slope in Scuol GR in February. Diagnosis: The fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae are broken, his spinal cord is injured but not severed. Both legs were paralyzed.
Kutter has been in a wheelchair since the accident and continues to receive care at the spinal cord injury center in Nottwil LU.
