Spanish emergency authorities said four people have died and 21 more have been injured after a building collapsed on the island of Majorca on Thursday.

The accident occurred in the city of Palma on the popular Mediterranean island.

Spanish news agency EFE and other media said the building housed a restaurant called Medusa Beach Club located near the beach.

Public television for the Balearic Islands, IB3, reported there were people dancing on a terrace that collapsed on top of another floor underneath.

No cause has been given for the collapse of the building.

Emergency services are continuing to search the site and attend the wounded.
