DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Monday morning, cars started being removed from the garage of Elan City Lights Apartments.
A crane from a neighboring construction site crashed into the apartment building in June, killing one woman and injuring five others.
Tenants have not been able to return to pick up their cars. Monday, crews started using another crane to hoist cars from the garage, lift them over the side of the building and set them on the ground.
One man came from a business across the street to watch. He says the owner of a tattoo parlor next to him hired a lawyer because he had lost so much business from road closures.
"People would call him and say, 'We can't come down because there's no place to park,'" he says. "He lost a lot of business, so it's going to be quite a long process. There's going to be a lot of lawsuits involved, too."
Tenants were not able to pick up their cars. They have been loaded onto wreckers and taken to another location.
