A woman died in Switzerland when a cable car detached in high winds, prompting an investigation.

A 61-year-old woman died Wednesday when a cable car cabin detached from its cable and plunged down a snowy slope at the Titlis ski resort in Engelberg, Switzerland, during strong winds. The gondola, carrying only the woman, tumbled and flipped before coming to rest in deep snow. Emergency services responded, evacuating 100 to 200 passengers from other gondolas on the line. Authorities confirmed the fatality but have not released the cause of the detachment, though high winds—exceeding 80 km/h—may have played a role. The incident has prompted a safety investigation and renewed concerns over mountain transport systems.
