British woman killed in Naples cable car crash named
A British couple were among the four people killed in a cable car crash near Naples, Italian police have said.
The mountain cable car cabin plunged 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 a criminal investigation has now been opened.
The UK foreign office said it was in touch with local authorities but has not confirmed the identities of the victims.
They are believed to be three passengers and the driver of the cable car, who was named by local officials as 59-year-old Carmine Parlato.
