Two dead and others trapped after hotel partially collapses in Germany

THE partial collapse of a hotel in a wine-making town on the River Mosel in western Germany has left two people dead and two others trapped in the wreckage, authorities said today.
Fourteen people were in the hotel in Kroev when a floor of the building collapsed at about 11pm on Tuesday.
Police said that five were able to get out of the building unhurt because they weren’t in the part that collapsed, but others were trapped.
