Italy’s transport minister has vowed to establish the cause of a cable car disaster that killed 14 people, after the lead cable apparently snapped, causing the cabin to crash to the ground.
The lone survivor of Sunday’s horrific incident in northern Italy, a five-year-old Israeli boy living in Italy, remains in hospital in Turin with multiple broken bones.
The Israeli foreign ministry identified him as Eitan Biran. His parents, younger brother and two great-grandparents were among the dead, the ministry said, correcting an earlier statement that had included Eitan among the victims.
Italian media identified all the other victims as residents of Italy.
