ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities in New Mexico say icing on a cable caused a tram car to get stuck high up in the Sandia Mountains overlooking Albuquerque, stranding the 20 people aboard overnight. A Bernalillo County Fire Department spokesman said all 20 people in the struck car were rescued as of Saturday afternoon as operations continued to extract another person who was in a second car nearby. The spokesman said those aboard the car when it got stuck at 10 p.m. Friday were all employees of the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway or a mountaintop restaurant. They were being ferried down to the base of the mountains at the end of their workdays. No injuries were reported.
