One person has reportedly died following the collapse of a hotel in Kroev town, Germany on Tuesday, August 5. 2024, night.
Also, eight people are still trapped in the rubble of the building which collapsed near a river bank.
While firefighters and paramedics are said to be at the spot to search and rescue the survivors from the building – about 100km west of Frankfurt – many people were able to leave on their own.
The German Police said, “Several people were able to leave the building on their own and are being looked after by emergency services and counsellors.”
Images from the scene of the collapse showed parts of the multi-story building had given way with concrete debris littered on the ground.
Public broadcaster SWR reported the fire brigade was initially unable to enter the building due to the risk of collapse.
Although it is still unclear what caused the mishap, neighboring buildings have also been evacuated for fear that the building could further collapse.
