A hotel collapses in Argentina and leaves 1 dead and several trapped

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Authorities say a 10-story hotel under renovation in Argentina has collapsed, leaving one person dead and at least seven trapped in the debris. Firefighters searching for survivors Tuesday rescued a woman who was alive from the rubble of the Dubrovnik Hotel in Villa Gesell, a coastal city 217 miles south of the capital Buenos Aires. A prosecutor opened an investigation to determine the cause of the collapse, but Villa Gesell’s municipality said in a press release the hotel was undergoing a renovation without the proper permits.
