Of those injured, ten people were transferred to hospital, two with \u201cmaximum priority\u201d and another two \u201cwho require urgent attention,\u201d the press office said. There were no fatalities, it added. <\/p>\n
The ski lift is 15 meters (more than 49 feet) high, the Spanish Civil Guard said in a post on X. <\/p>\n
Part of its structure collapsed after one of its pulleys became loose, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE reported. As it fell, the chairs on the ski lift were destabilized, turning some of them upside down, RTVE said. <\/p>\n
Video from the scene posted by the Civil Guard showed dozens of people standing in the snow on a mountain, stuck there after the ski lift broke. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like a cable has come off, the chairs have bounced and people have been thrown off,\u201d one witness told RTVE. <\/p>\n
By 3 p.m. local time, all of those left stranded by the collapse of the ski left were evacuated, the Spanish government\u2019s delegate in Aragon, Fernando Beltr\u00e1n Blazquez, posted to X. <\/p>\n
Spain\u2019s President Pedro Sanchez said he was \u201cshocked\u201d by the news, adding that he had spoken to Aragon\u2019s president to offer him the Spanish government\u2019s support. <\/p>\n
\u201cAll of our affection goes to the injured and their families,\u201d Sanchez said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
