LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Police in Portugal said Friday that 11 of the 16 people killed when a streetcar derailed were foreigners, as an initial investigative report examining what caused the popular Lisbon tourist attraction to crash was expected to be released.
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 in a statement.
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.
The list of nationalities was published following forensic identification.
