The accident occurred shortly after the cabin left the base station at approximately 2,700 meters (8,858 feet). About 50 people were inside the cabin when it was struck by arm of a construction crane truck.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related: <\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/snowbrains.com\/the-10-snowiest-resorts-in-europe\/\"><strong>The 10 Snowiest Resorts in Europe<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>According to the Is\u00e8re prefecture, three people were treated as being in \u201cabsolute emergency,\u201d while another 13 were classified as being in \u201crelative emergency.\u201d<\/strong> Most of the injured were treated at the Huez medical center, while five people were transported to Grenoble Alpes University Hospital for further evaluation. Among those transferred was a pregnant woman who was taken to the hospital as a precaution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The collision caused the gondola cabin to tilt, sending passengers sliding inside. <\/strong>\u201cThey thought they were going to die,\u201d Huez Mayor Jean-Yves Noyrey told Agence France-Presse (AFP). Noyrey said the cable cars are designed to stabilize after sudden braking, but the impact with the crane caused the cabin to tilt. The crane operator then reportedly backed the vehicle up, allowing the gondola cabin to return to its normal position. \u201cThere are mainly shocked people, concussions and hospitalized people are a priori all out,\u201d Noyrey said Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_422583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-422583\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img
