1 person died and 7 were injured in Antalya when a gondola hit a pole and burst open, sending its passengers plummeting to the rocks below
A court in southern Turkey sentenced eight people on Monday to prison terms over a 2024 cable car accident in the coastal resort of Antalya that killed one passenger and injured seven.
Four of the defendants were convicted of causing death and injury through negligence and were sentenced to seven-and-a-half years each, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
The other four were sentenced to between three years and four months and five years for the same offence.
The cable car system then shut down, leaving 174 people stranded in their gondolas high above ground – some for nearly 23 hours – before they were rescued.
