Governor, 26 others feared dead as nightclub’s roof collapses

No fewer than 27 people, including a provincial governor, were feared killed and 134 more injured in the early hours of Tuesday when the roof of a nightclub in the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo, collapsed.

Head of the Dominican Republic’s Emergency Operations Centre, Juan Manuel Mendez, said rescue crews were working to pull out people still believed to be trapped under the rubble.

Mendez did not provide a tally for the number of people thought to have been inside the Jet Set nightclub, located near the coast.
