A British couple were among four people killed in a cable car accident near Naples, Italian police have said.
According to foreign media, the mountain cable car cabin collapsed to the ground after one of the cables supporting it snapped on Thursday, local officials said.
The cable car operator said it had passed a safety inspection just two weeks ago and now a criminal investigation has been opened into the matter.
The UK Foreign Office said it was in contact with local authorities but has not confirmed the identities of the victims, writes A2 CNN.
They are believed to be three passengers and the cable car driver, who was identified by local officials as 59-year-old Carmine Parlato.
The fourth person to die was an Israeli woman, according to a spokesman for the mayor of Castellammare di Stabia. (A2 Televizion)
