The Guardian
|September 06, 2025
Portuguese police yesterday confirmed that three Britons were among 16 people killed in Lisbon on Wednesday when one of the city's funicular streetcars derailed and hurtled down a hill and into a building.
The accident, described by Portugal's prime minister, Luis Montenegro, as "one of the biggest tragedies in our recent history", also left 21 people injured, five of whom are in a serious condition.
A preliminary report on the crash on the Elevador da Glória was due to be released yesterday by the office for air and rail accident investigations.
In a statement, police said the accident had killed five Portuguese citizens, three Britons, two South Koreans, two Canadians, one American, one Ukrainian, one Swiss and one French citizen.
Police said a German citizen thought to have died in the crash had been located alive in a hospital. Portuguese media had reported a German father had died and a mother was seriously hurt while their three-year-old child sustained minor injuries.
The German foreign ministry said at least three German nationals were in hospital. The injured also include Spanish, Israeli, Portuguese, Brazilian, Italian and French citizens, according to the executive director of Portugal's national health service, Alvaro Santos Almeida.
