Weird & Strange

41-year-old Margherita from Trentino was killed Thursday in northern Piedmont when she plunged from a cable elevator as much as 100 meters down. Her husband and two small children saw the accident happen. 

The woman was loading the family's luggage into a cable car going to Drocala when it suddenly shot into motion, dragging the woman with it. The woman remained attached to the elevator for about 50 meters until she suddenly fell down onto the rocks. She was instantly dead.

Police launched an investigation into the circumstances of the accident.
