The roof of the Jet Set nightclub collapsed in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic early Tuesday morning.
At least 18 people are dead and more than 120 are injured after a roof collapsed at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic early Tuesday, authorities said.
Juan Manuel Méndez, director of the Center of Emergency Operations, said crews were searching the rubble at Jet Set in Santo Domingo for potential survivors.
“We presume that many of them are still alive, and that is why the authorities here will not give up until not a single person remains under that rubble,” he said.
According to the country’s national police service, the roof caved in at midnight on Tuesday.
As of 5 a.m., 46 people had been rescued, police said.
Merengue singer Rubby Pérez, who was performing when the roof collapsed, is among the injured, according to officials.
Pérez’s manager, Enrique Paulino, whose shirt was spattered with blood, told reporters at the scene that the concert began shortly before midnight, with the roof collapsing almost an hour later, killing the group’s saxophonist.
