Trolley accident

Four people were injured, including a mother and her two children, when a cable on a trolley taking them from a cliffside house to a boat dock in Texas broke and the group fell about 25 feet on Saturday, authorities said.

First responders from multiple agencies arrived at the scene near Eagle Mountain Lake outside of Fort Worth around noon local time, Briar-Reno Fire Chief Moses Druxman told PEOPLE.

After falling onto a rocky area covered with cactuses, one female adult was in “life-threatening” condition and was airlifted to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth.

The Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office has launched an investigation into the incident, Druxman said.
