Swiss Cable Car Falls, One Dead

Swiss Cable Car Falls, One Dead

In Switzerland a cable‑car accident on the morning of Wednesday killed one person in the Engelberg ski area. According to the Nidwalden cantonal police, the deceased was alone in the cabin, which apparently overturned several times before coming to rest in the snow. Police initially had no information on the cause or exact sequence of events, and investigators are actively probing the incident. Other gondolas on the roughly two‑kilometre section of the line were evacuated-a process that appeared to take several hours.
