Emergency officials in Spain reported that around 30 people were injured when a ski lift collapsed at the Astun ski resort in the Pyrenees mountains. The incident occurred at approximately 12:00 p.m. local time, with ten individuals requiring hospitalization, including two with 'maximum priority' and two in need of urgent attention. Fortunately, there were no fatalities resulting from the collapse.
The ski lift, standing at a height of 15 meters, suffered a structural failure when one of its pulleys became loose, causing part of the lift to collapse. As a result, some of the chairs on the lift were destabilized, leading to some passengers being thrown off or trapped upside down.
