Rescue underway for at least 20 trapped on New Mexico tramwayAt least 20 people have been trapped on a New Mexico tramway for at least 12 hours, from Friday night into Saturday, and a rescue mission is underway, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said.

Jayme Fuller from the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said that people are being rescued from the tourist attraction two to four at a time. Sandia Peak posted on Facebook that it is “working closely” with search and rescue.
