Fourteen people have been confirmed dead after a cable car plunged to the ground on a mountainside in northern Italy on Sunday morning.
The Italian government has launched an investigation into the cause of the incident on the Stresa-Mottarone line in the Piedmont region, while prosecutors seek to establish any criminal blame.
Just one of the fifteen passengers believed to have been inside the cable car at the time of the crash has survived.
A 5-year old Israeli boy, named by the Israeli foreign ministry as Eitan Biran, remains in hospital with several broken bones. Despite requiring emergency surgery at the Regina Margherita children’s hospital in Turin, he was conscious on arrival.
