Others were rescued from another cabin, a rescue service spokesperson said.

The cable car to the 3,300ft Jested mountain uses two cabins, each operated by a member of staff.

"One cabin fell while on its way down. There was one person inside, who unfortunately succumbed to their injuries," spokesman Michael Georgiev told Czech Television.

"Fortunately, the other cabin stayed in its normal place, some 15 people were evacuated, they should be without injuries, just suffered mental shock," he said.

Harrowing footage from the scene, filmed by local station Televize Seznam shows the smashed car on the ground with emergency services in the area.

According to police, the crash was reported at 1pm this afternoon.

It comes as the cable car was reportedly set to go on maintenance for two weeks on MondayThe country's Deputy PM Karel Havlicek paid tribute to the victim and said emergency services were evacuating 13 people and a dog from the second cabin.

He continued by thanking the fire rescue team and vowed an investigation will be launched to determine the causes of the crash.

David Kořínek, a spokesman for the Liberec fire brigade said that firefighters evacuated the group from the second cabin from a height of about 15 meters (49ft), Novinky.cz reported.

He said: "Our units carried out the evacuation of 14 people who did not suffer any injuries, using high-altitude technology, specifically the car ladder, and equipment that is directly intended for similar interventions."

"We are waiting for the police investigation and the Railway Inspectorate and at the moment we will not anticipate what exactly happened there," railway spokesman Lukáš Kubát told CTK.

Mountain peak Jested, located near the town of Liberec is a known ski destination in the north of the country.

The cable car is a popular tourist attraction, operated by Czech Railways, that took 211,000 people to the top last year.

Back in November 2013, a person died in a similar accident near Špindlerův Mlýn.

The horrific accident comes a few months after atragedy in Italy, where 14 people including a young family lost their lives after a cable car was thrown 1,640ft down a mountain by Lake Maggiore.
