At least 15 dead after Lisbon's historic funicular derails

At least 15 people have been killed and 18 others injured after a carriage on Lisbon's famous Gloria funicular derailed and crashed, emergency services said.

Portugal's emergency medical service authority said that five of those injured were in a serious condition. The remaining thirteen, including a child, sustained minor injuries.

Several people were earlier said to have been trapped at the scene. They have all since been freed, authorities said.

Spain's Prime Minster Pedro Sánchez said he was "appalled by the terrible accident". Lisbon's mayor, Carlos Moedas, said the capital was "in mourning", adding it was a "tragic moment for the city".
