cripple creek, colorado, usa - Twelve people were trapped at a depth of 300 meters in an old gold mine in the American city of Cripple Creek due to a lift malfunction. One person died during the incident.

Twelve people in the American city of Cripple Creek were trapped at a depth of 300 meters in an old gold mine for several hours. They have now been rescued. Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced this. "I am relieved," he said. "Our deepest condolences to the friends and family of the person who died during this incident," Polis added.

One person died and twelve others were trapped due to a lift malfunction in an old mine. The accident took place on Thursday in the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine, a former gold mine in the American state of Colorado, which is now a tourist attraction.

While one group of 11 tourists and a tour guide was inside the mine, for unknown reasons, the lift carrying another group of people malfunctioned halfway down the mine shaft. As a result, one person died and four others were slightly injured, the local sheriff said. The exact nature of the malfunction was unclear. This group was able to return to the surface using the lift before it was taken out of service.

During the rescue operation, the rescuers had radio communication with the trapped individuals and provided them with water, blankets, and chairs to keep them comfortable, the sheriff said. He did not provide details on how the person died. According to CBS News, the lift was successfully restored to working order after a few hours, allowing the trapped individuals to be rescued.
