LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portuguese emergency services say an electric streetcar that is one of Lisbon’s landmarks and a big draw for tourists has derailed, killing 15 people and injuring 18 others.
The National Institute for Medical Emergencies said in a statement that five of the injured are in serious condition, and a child is among the injured.
It said an unknown number of the injured are foreigners.
Authorities called it an accident, the worst in the city’s recent history.
The yellow-and-white streetcar, which goes up and down a steep downtown hill in tandem with one going the opposite way, was lying on its side on the narrow road that it travels along.
