Two people have died and several others were trapped under the rubble for hours on Wednesday after a hotel partially collapsed in the Moselle valley in western Germany.

A floor of the hotel in Kroev, a town some 110 kilometres (68 miles) west of Frankfurt, collapsed for unknown reasons at 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.

Seven others were rescued alive over the course the day, with the final person being pulled out late Wednesday “thanks to the tireless efforts of the rescuers”, police said in a statement.
