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.





According to broadcaster SWR, witnesses heard an explosion and saw a large cloud of dust at the time of the collapse.

Authorities have evacuated 31 people from the area around the damaged building. The cause of the collapse has not yet been reported.
