BERLIN: Rescue teams were on Wednesday working to free people trapped after part of a hotel collapsed in western Germany, killing two and injuring several others. A floor in the hotel in Kroev, a town some 110 kilometres west of Frankfurt, collapsed for unknown reasons around 11:00 pm on Tuesday, police said in a statement.
'We were able to make contact with the seven people buried and four of them were rescued with minor injuries, so it's a miracle,' police spokesman Joerg Teusch said. The rescue operation was difficult 'as the building could only be entered... with the utmost caution', police said. — AFP
