KROEV, Germany: A hotel in Germany’s picturesque Moselle wine valley collapsed overnight, killing two people, local police said on Wednesday (Aug 7), as rescuers worked urgently to pluck the three remaining trapped guests from the rubble.
One woman’s body was recovered but emergency responders have not yet been able to reach the body of the second victim, a male, rescue operation chief Joerg Teusch told reporters.
Four people have been rescued, none of them with serious injuries, Teusch said, in a complex operation as the two-storey building was unstable after its upper floor caved in late on Tuesday.
Among those rescued was a two-year-old child, who was not injured, and the child’s parents, with whom rescuers were able to establish contact overnight.
