On Tuesday at around 11:00 p.m. local time, a hotel partially collapsed in the town of Kröv, Rhineland-Palatinate. According to police, a man and a woman were killed.





A floor collapsed in the Reichsschenke Zum Ritter Götz hotel. At the time of the incident, 14 people were in the building, five were able to escape on their own.

A young couple and their two-year-old child from Urk, Netherlands, were trapped under the rubble.

Two hours later, rescuers pulled out two women, a man and a child, including a Dutch woman with her baby. However, her husband is still under the rubble.









Emergency services are struggling to get the job done, fearing that a large part of the building could collapse. They are in contact with those still trapped inside, including the child. Fortunately, he was unharmed.
