ZANZIBAR, Tanzania (AP) - A building collapsed Friday in Tanzania's commercial capital of Dar es Salam, killing one person and trapping at least five, a senior police officer said.
Rescue crews and ordinary citizens were working to pull survivors from the rubble of the four-story building, which was under construction when it collapsed Friday afternoon.
It wasn't clear how many people were in or around the building when it collapsed. But at least five people were trapped in the wreckage, said Alfred Tibaigana, the police commissioner for Dar es Salam region. One person died of their injuries at the scene.
