MILAN, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Two people were killed and around 40 injured when a tram derailed in central Milan on Friday, a spokesperson for local firefighters said.

Local emergency services said 13 ambulances were on the scene.
Civil protection teams set up a tent to assist the injured, according to a Reuters eyewitness.
The Milan transport company, ATM, said in a statement it was "deeply shocked", expressed its sympathy to those affected and said it was working with authorities to try to understand the cause.
