Pic shows: The crashed cable car in the Hochzillertal ski area These are the startling images taken after five cable cars at a ski lift smashed into each other high above a ski slope due to high winds. The bizarre accident happened yesterday [Sunday] at a ski lift in Hochzillertal, one of the most important skiing areas in the mountainous Austrian state of Tyrol. The cable cars of the "Wimbach Express" smashed into each other at one of the pillars near the town of Kaltenbach. The operation of the cable car had already been temporarily discontinued due to strong winds in the morning The gondolas were in the process of being retracted by the cable car operators when one gondola got entangled at one of the pillars. As a result, four other gondolas smashed into the stuck gondola, creating a mass pileup. When operators saw the accident, they immediately stopped the circulation of the cable cars, preventing an even bigger pileup. As no passengers were on board, nobody was injured in the accident. The exact damage done in the accident is currently unknown and it is not known when the cable car will be operational again. According to a spokesman from Hochzillertal Cable Cars, the authorities are currently investigating the accident. The "Wimbach Express" cable car is only one year old and is designed to transport up to 2,620 passengers per hour up to the ski slopes.

Pic Shows: The pedestrian intentionally jumps in front of the car; This is the moment a drunk man jumps into the windscreen of a slow-moving car and slumps down the bonnet onto the ground in a suspected insurance scam. The bizarre scenes were recorded by security cameras outside a shop in the city of Parana in the north central Argentina region of Entre Rios. In the video, a man, reportedly drunk, can be seen stood next to a zebra crossing seemingly looking to cross the road.

The driver stops in time but the man launches himself onto the car’s windscreen before slowly slumping down the bonnet and onto the ground. He lies in a motionless heap in front of the car as an onlooker checks on him and other drivers make their past. Local media report the man was drunk and had got off a bus before the incident. The bizarre incident is believed to be an insurance scam according to local media and the owner of the shop where the CCTV footage was recorded told reporters he only found out about the incident the following day and he then checked the footage. Shop owner Javier Santana said: "We could not believe it. We don’t know what happened, but we all agree the man jumped into the vehicle. In fact, it seems like he wanted to do the same thing with another vehicle beforehand but he did not do it as the vehicle was moving very fast." Police officers went to the scene and reports suggest the man in the video suffered light injuries and was taken to the local San Martin hospital. The driver did not want to comment on the case and reports suggest he is thinking of filing a complaint against the pedestrian. Julian Bevilaqcua, the Sub-Commissioner of the local police, told local media: "He said that he had jumped into the car due to an argument with his girlfriend.
