Tunnel collapse at Spa-Francorchamps

Just had a phonecall from a friend telling me that the Blanchimont tunnel partially collapsed around midday. There was track activity, but at that moment no cars were running. The track itself is still there, it seems most of the graveltrap, armco, marshal's hut, tv camera and more went down.
Problem is that nobody knows if any cars, bikes or pedestrians were in or near the tunnel during the collapse.
At this very moment an emergency plan has been set up, to start digging for possible victims.

This from the RTL website: "Vers 11h45, une partie du tunnel de Blanchimont, situé sous le circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, s’est effondrée. Il s’agit d’une voie d’accès souterraine de six mètres de haut, permettant aux poids lourds d’atteindre les paddocks. L’effondrement s’est produit Ã* hauteur du poste 20, explique Christine Calmeau pour RTL-TVi.

Les pompiers sont sur place afin de s’assurer que personne ne soit coincé sous les gravats. D’après les premières informations, il semble que personne ne se trouvait Ã* cet endroit au moment des faits. Cependant, aucun bilan n’a pour l’instant été communiqué."
