A gondola in a Swiss ski resort was torn off and fell into the depths. One person is dead.
There was a person in the gondola, the police announced at midday. The gondola “overturned several times” after the crash. The person was fatally injured.
Accordingly, strong winds caused the crash. According to the police, another gondola is currently being evacuated. A rescue helicopter is also involved. Image material from the “20 Minutes” portal previously showed rescue workers carrying out resuscitation measures on a person.
Wind gusts of up to 80 km/h
According to “Blick”, the gondola is part of the “Xpress Trübsee-Stand” cable car, which, according to the ski area’s website, is currently closed due to strong winds. Wind gusts of up to 80 km/h were measured.
The gondola was torn down from the facility shortly after 11 a.m., as a reader told the “20 Minuten” portal.
