A cable car crashed in a skiing region in western Austria on Tuesday and all four people on board were seriously injured, police said.

A tree apparently fell on the cable of the Acherkogelbahn in the Hochoetz skiing area of Tyrol province, bringing down the car, the Austria Press Agency reported.

Its occupants were rescued by helicopter and taken to a hospital.
