At least seven people have been killed and over 90 others injured in a building collapse during a wedding in east China’s Zhejiang Province.

The incident took place last evening in Yazhuang village of the Panan County.

Seven people were killed and over 90 others injured, including more than 10 severely. The injured were rushed to a hospital, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Even though the cause for the collapse was being probed, local residents said the age of the building and accumulated snow on the roof may have triggered the collapse.
