Stresa–Mottarone cable car crash
On 23 May 2021, an aerial tram on the Stresa–Alpino–Mottarone Cable Car crashed to the ground after a cable snapped about 100 meters (300 ft) from the summit of Mottarone, a mountain near Lake Maggiore in Piedmont, northwestern Italy. The crash killed fourteen passengers in the cable car,[1][2] and seriously injured one child.[3][4]
The cable car was traveling on a line connecting the town of Stresa with the summit of Mottarone when it crashed into a wooded area.[5] The incident was Italy's deadliest cable car disaster since the 1998 Cavalese cable car disaster.[6]
