A small plane has been left dangling upside down after getting entangled in ski lift cables in the Italian Alps.

Dramatic pictures were released by Italian mountain rescuers following the crash in Prato Valentino on Sunday.

The pilot had light injuries after being thrown out of the plane. He is now being treated in hospital, the rescuers say.

The only passenger on board the plane was unharmed.

Just ridiculously lucky those two. Those lift cables are relatively low, he must have been on a collision course with the mountain.
