ENGELBERG, Switzerland — A gondola cabin crashed down a snowy slope Wednesday morning at a ski resort in central Switzerland, prompting an emergency response as authorities worked to determine whether anyone was inside.
Swiss news outlet Blick reports the incident occurred at Engelberg-Titlis Ski Resort, where strong winds were reported at the time. Local police confirmed an accident but did not immediately release details about possible victims or the cause.
