The fatal Lisbon tram crash which killed three Brits was caused when a cable connecting the two cabins snapped, investigators have said.
The Gloria funicular tram disaster, which occured when the iconic streetcar derailed and crashed in the Portuguese capital on Wednesday evening, left 16 dead and 21 injured.
Theatre director Kayleigh Smith, 36, and her partner Will Nelson, 44, a lecturer at Manchester's Arden School of Theatre, were named as two of the three Britons who died.
The third British victim, who is said to be an 82-year-old man, has yet to be named.
The first report into the crash, described as 'one of the biggest human tragedies of our recent history' by Portugal's Prime Minister Luís Montenegro, said the two cabins had essentially snapped.
