India buildings collapse kills 7; 10 believed trapped
New Delhi (CNN) -- At least seven people have died and 10 others are believed to be trapped after two residential buildings collapsed in western India, authorities said Wednesday.
Rescue workers are searching for survivors amid the rubble of the two three-story buildings in the Vadodara district of Gujarat state, said Vinod Rao, the top district administrator.
Seven people have been injured by the collapse, which took place around 5 a.m. Wednesday morning, Rao said.
