Dozens of cars are now stuck in mud and debris inside a Bedford Park public parking garage after a water main break Monday night.
Bronx resident and cab driver Francisco Castro says his vehicle is his source of income and now he doesn't know when he will get back on his feet. Castro says his insurance hasn't been much help. He is now leaning on city resources to move forward, especially so close to the holidays.
For the first time, Castro spoke to News 12's Elly Morillo and takes viewers inside the parking garage.
News 12 reached out to New York Botanical Garden, who owns the public parking garage, for comment on how they're helping drivers and hasn't heard back yet.
