As a result of the crash on the cable car in Georgian Gudauri, two Russian citizens were injured. This was reported by the Minister of Health of the country David Sergeenko. "Among the injured four citizens of Ukraine, one - Sweden, two - Russia and one citizen of Georgia," - quotes RIA Novosti official words. According to the agency, the state of the victims is not heavy. The worst happened to a pregnant Swede and one Ukrainian - he had a head injury and a fractured arm. They are both taken to the Tbilisi hospital. The rest are hospitalized in a local clinic. On numerous videos that immediately appeared on the web, it can be seen that the cable car seemed to have gone wild.

The chairs rolled down at a frenzied speed, as a result tourists fell from a height or crashed into the previous seat on the lower cable car station. When the traffic was finally stopped, some tourists got stuck at the height and they had to wait for the rescuers, hanging in the air. Law enforcers have already opened a case under the article "violation of safety rules for the movement or operation of rail, water, air or suspension transport". According to the preliminary version, the accident occurred due to a sudden power outage.
