The unidentified victim was flown from Tricot Hills in India’s Deogar region, where a cable car accident killed three people and left 50 others stranded in the air.

In a shocking clip, the man can be seen swinging from a rope as a helicopter team tries to pull him inside.
At first, it seems that the rescue was a success – but a few seconds later, tragedy struck.
The video clip shows the man – who is hanging from the helicopter – and appears to have lost his grip as he fell to the ground below.
Local reports claim that the man died, but this has not been confirmed by the authorities.
A woman was also injured during a separate rescue attempt at the scene.
In a separate clip, the woman can be seen hanging from a rope attached to a helicopter – invisible to the eye – before suddenly falling into a forest below.
The woman was taken to hospital but her condition is unknown.
According to local reports, three people – including two women – succumbed to their injuries in the cable car collision.
Eight people are currently undergoing treatment at Dogar Sadar Hospital.
Sandeep, one of those caught, told The Times of India: “I can’t explain the experience of hanging in the air in a car at night, in complete darkness.
“I thought I was going to have a heart attack.”
Initial reports indicate that the accident may have occurred due to a technical problem, with officials believing that one of the cars got out of its lane and crashed into the other.
The rescue was carried out by the army, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police and the National Disaster Response Force.
The ropeway manager and other staff allegedly fled the area after the accident.
