Repairs were taking place at the site of a Lisbon streetcar crash which killed 16 and injured 21 others

Police in Portugal said that 11 of the 16 people killed when the streetcar derailed were foreigners.

Police added Friday that the dead included five Portuguese, three British, two Canadians, two South Koreans, one American, one French, one Swiss and one Ukrainian.
