One more person has been rescued and taken to a hospital after a building collapsed in Iowa.

Davenport fire chief Michael Carlsten said at a news conference on Monday that it was unclear how many people, if any, were still missing after an apartment building collapsed in the eastern Iowa city.

Rescuers were called to the scene shortly before 5pm on Sunday (11pm BST).

Fire crews rescued seven people and escorted more than a dozen others from the building in their initial response.
