A ski lift accident in the Spanish Pyrenees injured at least 30 people on Saturday and left dozens more trapped for hours some 15 meters (50 feet) above slopes in the resort town of Astun in the country's northern Aragon region.

Aragon's regional emergency services reported that 10 individuals had to be hospitalized after they were apparently thrown from lifts due to equipment failure. Two of the 10 were said to be very seriously injured.

Several helicopters were dispatched to the site in an effort to transport the injured to hospitals as well as to rescue those trapped above the slopes.


@PASJOAQUIN tells We were on a chair... thank God we have not fallen. But on arrival they did fall and there are people injured.
