A Houston man narrowly escaped death when a parking garage partially collapsed beneath his car. Weeks later, Jose Cruz is still trying to come to terms with the traumatic event that left him shaken and without access to his vehicle.
On January 24th, Cruz was working for the security company overseeing the vacant property on Briar Hollow Lane when disaster struck. As he parked his car in the designated area, the ground gave way beneath him, causing a pancake effect that sent debris crashing down around him. Cruz described the scene as "surreal" and said all he could think was, "What if my car comes loose and keeps falling down? Where will it fall?"
Miraculously, Cruz escaped through his car window and made it out alive, but not without sustaining a fractured right foot during his ordeal. He was taken to the hospital and treated for his injuries.
However, Cruz's relief at having survived the disaster is short-lived, as he soon discovered that his car remains trapped beneath the rubble, leaving him unable to access it. The property owners, Dhanani Private Equity Group, have yet to reach out to check on Cruz's well-being or offer assistance with retrieving his vehicle.
Cruz expressed frustration and disappointment at the lack of concern shown by the property owners, saying he feels like they don't care about his situation. He fears that the financial burden of medical bills will be too much for him to bear alone, having worked for 18 years without any issues prior to the incident.
As Cruz struggles to come to terms with what happened and find a way to move forward, one thing is certain: he has faced something no one wants to experience – the terrifying reality of being trapped in a collapsed parking garage.

I feel so bad for Jose, still trying to process the trauma he went through, and now his car is stuck under that pile of rubble 
. It's just not right that the property owners haven't even reached out to check on him yet 
. Eighteen years of working without any issues before this happens, and now he's struggling to cope with the medical bills and no way to get back to his daily life 
. I hope someone from Dhanani Private Equity Group gets in touch with him soon and helps him sort out this mess 
.
my heart goes out to that dude Jose Cruz! I mean, can you even imagine having your car crushed beneath the rubble and not knowing if it's even safe for you to get in? 
The fact that the property owners are being so neglectful is just icing on the cake. I mean, what kind of company doesn't check in on their employees after something like this happens? 
It's gotta be really tough for him right now, trying to deal with all these emotional and practical challenges at once. Sending him lots of positive vibes 
and hoping he gets his car fixed ASAP! 
? And the worst part is, the property owners are MIA 
- no word on his well-being or any assistance for getting his car out. I mean, 18 years of work and this is how he's repaid? It's just not right 
. The panic and fear must still be etched in his mind after that terrifying experience 
. Hope he gets the help he needs and soon 
The lack of concern from the property owners is totally unacceptable... I mean, shouldn't they be checking in on people who were affected by their negligence?! 
It's like, come on guys, show some humanity! 
And to make matters worse, Cruz has to deal with medical bills and financial struggles alone? 
#JusticeForJoseCruz #ParkingGarageCollapse #BeKindToOthers
. I'm sending all my positive vibes to Cruz, though - he deserves better than that.
. And let's not forget about the medical bills piling up... it's a nightmare scenario for anyone, but especially after 18 years of working hard 
I mean, it's not like he's just gonna sit there and wait for someone to magically fix his car 
. And yeah, property owners should totally be checking in on him, that's basic human decency 
. But at the same time, can you blame them for not wanting to get involved in a potentially expensive mess? 
This whole thing is super messed up... 
this is just insane! I mean, how do you not even bother to check on someone who's lucky enough to survive such a traumatic event? 
that's like getting a parking ticket AND a free foot massage at the same time... not. 
cant believe they dont care about his well being
