Around 250 people are trapped on a cable car service in Colombia after an accident on the line has left one dead and at least 20 others injured.
The Metrocable car in the city of Medellin collapsed onto a taxi waiting below, seriously injuring the driver and the 11 people inside. The deceased man has been identified locally as Jhon Jairo Londono, 49.
