Four tourists died after a mountain cable car cabin plunged to the ground near Naples in southern Italy, emergency services say.

Another person was "extremely seriously injured" in the crash at Mount Faito and airlifted to hospital, officials said.

Italian media outlets reported that the cabin had been near the top of the mountain when one of the cables supporting it snapped.

A second cabin was also on the line at the time but located near the bottom of the valley - 16 people were rescued from it and winched to safety.
