Portugal Thursday has declared a national day of mourning after an iconic railway cable car crashed in Lisbon, killing at least 15 people and injuring 18 others. Foreign nationals are among those killed, authorities said, although the identities of the victims have not been confirmed. Five of the injured are in a serious condition.

Police said the accident happened around 6:15 pm on Wednesday when Glória funicular derailed and crashed into a building. Witnesses described it racing “at full speed”.

An investigation has now been launched by Lisbon prosecutors, police and the transport accident investigation department. The city's public transport operator, Carris, said it had complied with "all maintenance protocols”.

Built in 1885, the 265-meter funicular is one of Lisbon’s most iconic landmarks, long used by locals and tourists to climb the city’s steep hills.
