Lisbon

Authorities in Lisbon have confirmed that at least 15 people were killed and 18 others injured, including a child, after a streetcar derailed and crashed near a well-known tourist spot in the city. The accident involved the iconic Gloria streetcar, which has been operating since 1885 and is popular with both residents and visitors.

Eyewitnesses reported that the streetcar appeared to lose control while descending a steep hill, ultimately crashing into a building on a narrow road. Emergency workers remain at the scene as investigations into the cause of the derailment continue. City officials and the president of Portugal have expressed condolences to the victims' families.

15 muertos en el descarrilamiento de un emblemático tranvía en Lisboa (Portugal)

Las autoridades portuguesas afirman que al menos 15 personas han muerto hoy tras descarrilar y estrellarse un tranvía. Ocurrió en la capital, Lisboa. Otras 18 personas resultaron heridas, entre ellas un niño. El accidente se produjo cerca de un popular punto turístico del centro de Lisboa, y Mts Hayab, corresponsal senior de CBS News, tiene las últimas noticias. Bueno, es una situación francamente horrible y desgarradora en la capital portuguesa con tantas personas muertas y gravemente heridas en este accidente. Cualquiera que haya visitado Lisboa estará familiarizado con el icónico tranvía o funicular amarillo y blanco, que sube y baja una empinada colina del centro en tándem con otro que va en sentido contrario. Y todo lo que realmente sabemos es que uno de estos vagones descarriló y pudo ser visto tendido de lado en una estrecha carretera por la que circula. Ahora, puedes ver que sus lados y su parte superior estaban parcialmente arrugados, y parece que se estrelló contra un edificio en la curva de la carretera. Testigos presenciales dijeron a los medios de comunicación locales que el tranvía, según sus palabras, se precipitó colina abajo, aparentemente fuera de control. Ahora, varias docenas de trabajadores de emergencia permanecen en el lugar mientras se sigue investigando la causa del accidente. Al parecer, el accidente se produjo al comienzo de la hora punta de la tarde, es decir, sobre las 18.00 horas. El tranvía, conocido como Gloria, funciona desde 1885 y puede transportar a unas 40 personas. Como decíamos, es muy utilizado tanto por los lisboetas como por los turistas. El año pasado, Lisboa recibió alrededor de 8,5 millones de turistas, y el tranvía es, por supuesto, una atracción popular. Ahora, el alcalde de Lisboa dijo a los periodistas en el lugar que la ciudad estaba de luto, y también hemos escuchado al presidente del país, que ofreció sus condolencias a las familias afectadas. Volvemos con ustedes. MTS Tie Up, gracias.
