Part of a hotel on Germany’s Mosel River collapses. 2 people are dead and others are trapped

BERLIN (AP) — German authorities say that part of a hotel in Germany collapsed and that two people have died and several others are trapped in the wreckage. Fourteen people were in the hotel in Kroev when one story of the building collapsed at about 11 p.m. 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. An operation is ongoing to try to save them. But reaching them is proving to be difficult because the collapse of one story left two ceilings lying on top of each other. Krov is a winemaking town on the Mosel River in western Germany.
