Madrid : A ski lift collapsed at a resort in the Spanish region of Aragon on Saturday, injuring dozens of people, and around 80 people remain trapped, hanging in the chairlift at the ski resort of Astún, in the province of Huesca.
The cause of the cable failure remains unknown.
The ski resort’s management declined to comment and was not immediately able to say if foreigners were among the injured.
Several helicopters were working in the area to rescue the skiers who were still trapped on the chairlift and transfer the injured to nearby hospitals.
The Astún ski resort, mainly popular among Spanish skiers, is located close to the Spanish border with France, in the Pyrenees mountain range.
