Helicopters, mountain rescue teams and 160 emergency workers are involved in the evacuation of stranded passengers, which is continuing.
One person was killed and 10 others injured after a cable car cabin collided with a broken pole and burst open in Turkey.
Passengers were sent plummeting to the ground following the crash at around 6pm local time on Friday near the popular tourist city of Antalya.
Two children were reportedly among those hurt.
Footage taken in the aftermath of the accident showed the torn open wreckage of the car and tangled debris on the ground as well as the injured being airlifted to hospital.
Nearly 200 passengers were left stranded on the Tunektepe cable car, with 24 cabins suspended high in the air, sparking a huge rescue effort involving helicopters and more than 500 emergency workers.
Some 16 hours later, more than 60 people remained trapped in nine cabins, while 112 passengers had been rescued.
Speaking at the scene, Disaster and Emergency Management Authority chairman Okay Memis said they aimed to complete the recovery operation by the end of the day.
The governor’s office named Memis Gumus, a Turkish national, as the man who died in the incident and confirmed those who were injured were taken to hospital.
It initially reported seven people had been injured in the collision, but the number was later revised to 10 by health minister Dr Fahrettin Koca.
Mr Koca wrote on X: “One person died and 10 people were injured as a result of a cable car cabin falling in Antalya’s Konyaaltı district.
“May God have mercy on our citizen who lost his life in the accident, I wish a speedy recovery to our injured, and I wish a speedy recovery to the rescued and waiting to be rescued victims.”
The crash occurred on the final day of the three-day Eid al Fitr public holiday in Turkey – which marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and sees families flock to coastal resorts.

It takes around nine minutes to make the ascent, according to its website.
It is run by Antalya Metropolitan Municipality.
