A cable car linking Italy’s Lake Maggiore with a nearby mountain in the Alps plunged to the ground.
A mountaintop cable car plunged to the ground in northern Italy, killing at least nine people and sending two children to the hospital, authorities said. The Stresa-Mottarone cable car takes tourists and locals from the famous town of Stresa, on Lake Maggiore, up almost 1,400 metres (4,600 feet) above sea level to the top of the Mottarone mountain in 20 minutes. The ministry of infrastructure said in a statement that the accident occurred around 12:30pm (10:30 GMT) as the cabin was about 100 metres (328 feet) from the summit.
