Mexico church collapse: Ten dead after roof falls through in Tamaulipas – BBC News

At least 10 people, including three children, were killed when the roof of a church collapsed in northern Mexico.

The collapse happened on Sunday afternoon local time as around 100 people were attending a baptism at Santa Cruz church in Ciudad Madero.

Sixty people were injured, at least two of them seriously, and dozens were trapped underneath the rubble.

Local residents rushed to the building with shovels and pickaxes to try to free those trapped.

Search and rescue teams have since arrived at the scene and two cranes are on site to remove the debris.
