An Italian prosecutor says she is considering a number of possible crimes related to the cable car disaster that killed 14 people Sunday, including multiple manslaughter and attempted manslaughter.
Prosecutor Olimpia Bossi made the statement to local journalists Monday, according to The Associated Press.
The cable car was carrying passengers to the top of Mottarone mountain in northern Italy when it crashed. Among the dead were five members of one family — two grandparents, two parents and their toddler. The only surviving passenger is the couple's other child, a 5-year-old boy.
