Authorities in Mexico say the roof of a church has collapsed in northern Mexico during a Mass, and rescue teams are searching for any victims.
– The roof of a church collapsed in northern Mexico during a Mass on Sunday, and rescue teams rushed to begin searching for about 30 people believed to be trapped in the rubble, authorities said.
Bishop José Armando Alvarez of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tampico said the roof caved in while parishioners were receiving communion at the Santa Cruz church in the Gulf coast city of Ciudad Madero, next to the port city of Tampico. Photos published by local media showed what appeared to be a concrete and brick structure, with parts of the roof fallen almost to the ground.
“At this time, the necessary work is being performed to extract the people who are still under the ruble,” Alvarez said in a taped message. “Today we are living through a very difficult moment.”
