Berlin: Rescue teams were Wednesday working to free people trapped after part of a hotel collapsed in western Germany, killing two and injuring several others, authorities said.
A floor in the hotel in Kroev, a town some 110 kilometres (68 miles) west of Frankfurt, collapsed for unknown reasons around 11:00 pm (2100 GMT) on Tuesday, police said in a statement.
A woman and a man were killed in the accident, police spokesman Joerg Teusch told journalists on Wednesday.
Of the 14 people inside at the time, five managed to get out.
Emergency services rescued one man, a child and two women on Wednesday morning.
