FOUR PEOPLE HAVE died following a cable car crash near Naples in Italy.
Reports said the cable car had been over a steep drop when the cable snapped, and poor weather, including mist, prevented rapid access by rescue services.
The local fire service has confirmed that four people had died.
A second cable car, using the same line, was closed when the accident occurred.
The cable car line had been opened in 1952, and eight years later a deadly accident occurred in which one cabin fell and four people were killed.
