Al-Azzam added that the collapse caused the closure of a secondary street from incoming traffic, blaming the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) for the accident after it granted a license for excavations despite warnings of the collapse.

He pointed out that the GAM requested him to evacuate his home and tend to the damages at his own expense.
