THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Part of a hospital parking lot in the central Dutch town of Nieuwegein collapsed on Sunday night, emergency services said. It was not immediately clear whether anyone was trapped under the rubble.
The regional security service said in a message on social media platform X that all ramps used by cars to travel between floors of the six-story Sint Antonius hospital building had collapsed.
“All the ramps collapsed, not the parking spaces,” Kelly van Ruler, spokeswoman for the Utrecht Security Region, told Dutch radio station NPO 1.
Van Ruler said authorities could not rule out the possibility of victims, but added they were not immediately aware of any. She said firefighters and other emergency services were inspecting the building to determine if it was safe to enter.
The collapse happened after normal hospital visiting hours. which is close to the central Dutch city of Utrecht.
Additional details were not immediately available.
