A child seriously injured in the incident.
He previously reported that two children, either under the age of 10, had been transferred by two air ambulances to Regina Margherita Hospital near Turin.
The youngest, a five-year-old boy, suffered head trauma, chest-abdominal trauma and fractures in the lower extremities, but still conscious, Sky Italia reported. It is in “serious condition”, according to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Simone Bobbio, spokesman for the Alpine Rescue Service in the Piedmont region, said there are still no main points about the nationality or age of the victims.
In the past it was reported that 11 other people were on board.
Corriere della Sera said rescue efforts were further complicated by the fact that the cabin, with capacity for 40 people, fell into a wood in an inaccessible area.
A photo of the remains taken through Italian firefighters showed the crushed remains of the red and white cable car in a clearing in a wooded domain near the most sensitive ski resort.
The Stresa-Mottarone elevator cables were above the floor at the time, said Walter Milan, spokesman for the Alpine Rescue Service.
He said the cable line was closed in 2014 for a renovation of 4. 4 million euros before reopening in 2016 and only reopened on April 24 after COVID locks forced the closure of lifts throughout Italy last year.
Fire, helicopter, police and mountain rescue teams are on site.
A truck with a chimney on its way to the dump, however, was not reported injured.
“A terrible tragedy, I have already spoken to the prefect and the director of Fireplace and Civil Protection. We are looking to perceive what happened, but this is a really terrible tragedy,” said Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility Minister Enrico Giovannini. .
The cable car, which has two cars in the interchange directions, connects Stresa on the shores of Lake Maggiore with mottarone’s most sensitive, at an altitude of about 1491 meters, and takes about 20 minutes with a more sensitive in between.
In 2001, 40 tourists had to be rescued after blocking a capsule right after leaving Stresa terminal.
There is a small amusement park at the top, Alpyland, which has a roller coaster for children with a 360-degree view of the picturesque lake and surrounding Alps in Italy’s Piedmont region.
Many Italian ski spaces have trails and mountain biking that are popular in spring and summer.
