BAD REICHENHALL, Germany (AFP) Jan 02, 2006
The roof of an ice rink in a town in the Bavarian Alps collapsed under the weight of heavy snow Monday, with some 50 people inside, police said.

A police spokesman in the southern German town of Bad Reichenhall said it was unclear how many casualties there had been. The area around the rink was evacuated.

Rescue efforts were complicated by continued snowfall, following an overnight blizzard.
