A devastating accident occurred in Switzerland where a woman tragically lost her life. Reporting for Gazeta Express on March 18, 2026, at 20:29, the incident unfolded on Wednesday morning within the Engelberg ski area. A cable car suffered a catastrophic collapse, resulting in a single fatality.
Authorities confirmed the deceased was traveling alone in the cabin and was identified as a 61-year-old local resident. The event transpired in the Nidwalden canton, just shortly before 11:00. An eight-seat “Titlis Xpress” line cabin unexpectedly separated from the cable line immediately following its stop at the Trübsee intermediate station, destined for the Stand mountain station.
Following the sudden detachment, the cabin plummeted to the ground, experiencing multiple rotations on the snow-covered slope. Emergency services swiftly responded to the accident. The cable car service was immediately halted, and all remaining passengers were safely evacuated from the cabin.
Investigations are underway to determine the precise cause of this tragic event.
