A supermarket roof collapsed in the southern German town of Toeging am Inn today but reports suggest there have been no major injuries.

There were no immediate reports of the cause, although Bavaria experienced heavy snowfall overnight.

The roof caved in minutes before authorities received the emergency call at 11.26am (10.26am Irish time), according to an official.

The roof fell onto the shelves of the Netto supermarket, and employees were able to escape, a police spokesman said.
