At least 15 people died and around 18 were injured when Lisbon’s Gloria funicular railway car, which is popular with tourists, derailed and crashed, an emergency medical service spokesman tells reporters.
Authorities would not identify the victims or disclose their nationalities, but said some foreign nationals were among the dead.
“It’s a tragic day for our city…Lisbon is in mourning, it is a tragic, tragic incident,” Carlos Moedas, the mayor of the Portuguese capital, tells reporters.
