16-year-old worker killed after new construction homes collapse amid storms, Magnolia officials say

A 16-year-old boy died after being trapped under a collapsed structure during severe storms in Magnolia on Tuesday, according to authorities.

Firefighters responded to a new subdivision of houses being constructed on Willow Heights Lane near FM 1488. Two structures collapsed, and a third was damaged. When crews arrived, they said people at the scene told them someone was stuck inside the rubble. First responders from multiple agencies, including the Woodlands, Conroe, and North Montgomery County fire departments, spent about three and a half hours trying to get to the victim, but he did not survive, and his body was pulled out of the debris at about 4:15 p.m.

He said that several employees were in the structure and noticed it began to shift before evacuating. Garcia didn't make it out and was ultimately trapped.
