Argentina hotel collapse kills one, reports say

One person is reportedly dead and a number of others are believed to be trapped in the rubble after a hotel collapsed in Argentina.

Dubrovnik’s 10-story hotel in the coastal town of Villa Gesell collapsed early Tuesday, the Reuters news agency said, citing the local municipality.

Up to 15 people are believed to have been inside the hotel, which had recently been under renovation.

Rescue teams are working at the scene trying to free those believed to be trapped. Local media reports that an 80-year-old man died as a result of the incident.
