Italy: Cable car accident kills 12, injures two children

At least 12 people Sunday were killed after a cable car linking Italy’s Lake Maggiore with a mountain in the Alps plunged to the ground, according to the National Associated Press (ANSA).

The Italy-based wire service cited local officials as saying the cables to the car broke down shortly before reaching its destination. The cable car dropped and rolled several times down a slope before being stopped by trees.

At least 12 people who were in the cable car died on the spot while two children were helicoptered to a hospital, ANSA added.
