Two people have died and ten are feared to still be trapped after a building collapsed at a beach resort in Majorca.

Around one hundred emergency responders including police and firefighters have raced to the scene of the incident, identified locally as a terrace at a beach bar in Playa de Palma called the Medusa Beach Club.

Local authorities are also saying one person has been seriously injured in the collapse, without yet providing further information on the identities of the affected.

The first floor was revealed to have collapsed onto the ground floor, causing devastation to the inner building and injuring as many as fourteen.

A spokesman for a regional emergency response coordination centre said: 'We have activated an emergency response as a result of the collapse of the ceiling of a two-storey building in Avenida Cartago in Playa de Palma, where people are trapped.'

Playa de Palma is the beach area lying to the east of the Majorcan capital. It is especially popular with German holidaymakers.
