Four dead, 21 injured in Spain restaurant roof collapse
The roof of a restaurant in Spain's popular tourist island of Mallorca collapsed Thursday, killing four people and injuring more than 20 others, local rescuers said.
"There are four dead and around 21 injured," the rescuers said, adding that some of the injuries were serious.
Local media said the two-storey building was in the Playa de Palma area to the south of the Mediterranean island's capital Palma de Mallorca.
Firefighters, police officers and ambulances rushed to the scene, according to images published in local media.
Mallorca is one of Spain's Balearic Islands, whose pristine waters and beaches attract more tourists than all Spanish regions after Catalonia.
More than 14 million tourists visited the islands last year, according to official figures.
