Locals and tourists on Friday placed tributes near the site of the deadly derailment of a streetcar in Portugal’s capital that killed 16 people and injured 21 others Wednesday.

Police said that 11 of those killed were foreigners.

"I think of the relatives of the victims. It could have been us on board. It was terrible and sad. I even cried about it," French tourist Annick Bordeaux said on Friday.

Mourners left flower and candle tributes near the crash site as visitors reflected on the accident.

“We arrived today. But we were supposed to arrive a few days ago. But we changed plans on the road. And this was one of the trips we had planned to do," said Italian tourist Christian Bisulli.

Official details about the crash were still scant Friday morning, but details were beginning to emerge about those killed in the accident.

Multiple agencies are investigating what Portugal’s Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has described as “one of the biggest tragedies of our recent past.”

The government’s Office for Air and Rail Accident Investigations said it would issue a preliminary technical report Friday, but it postponed that to Saturday citing a delay in official procedures.

Chief police investigator Nelson Oliveira said a preliminary police report with a broader scope is expected within 45 days.

Witnesses told local media that the streetcar appeared out of control as it careened down a hill at around 6 p.m. on Wednesday during the evening rush hour.

One witness said that the streetcar toppled onto a man on a sidewalk.

The sides and top of the yellow-and-white streetcar, known as Elevador da Gloria, were crumpled and it appeared to have crashed into a building where the road bends.

The dead included five Portuguese nationals, three British citizens, two Canadians, two South Koreans, one American, one French, one Swiss and one Ukrainian, police said.

A German man also thought to have died in Wednesday’s crash was found to be in a Lisbon hospital, police said.

It didn’t provide an explanation for the error.
