The sole survivor of a deadly cable car crash in Italy was released from an Italian hospital on Thursday, health authorities said, noting that the Israeli 5-year-old’s condition was “much improved.”
Fourteen people, including Eitan’s father Amit Biran, 30, mother Tal Peleg-Biran, 26, 2-year-old brother Tom, and great-grandparents Barbara and Yitzhak Cohen of Tel Aviv, 71 and 81 respectively, were killed in the May 24 accident after a cable snapped on the aerial tram bringing weekend visitors to the top of the Piedmont region’s Mottarone mountain. All five were buried in Israel a few days later.
