A giant holiday decoration being blown in the wind was caught on camera rolling through Stamford's Harbor Point neighborhood during Friday afternoon's storms, crashing into multiple cars.
Video obtained by News 12 shows the globe starting at the tip of Triangle Park, and slowly making its way down Harbor Point Road South, crashing into at least two cars.
Alix Abbamonte says she was driving the first car that was hit, and shared video with News 12 as well, showing smears of sand, as well as multiple scrapes and dents on the back part of the vehicle as a result of the collision.
"I couldn't move, I couldn't go anywhere, and I saw it coming at us, and I was like "that giant ornament's going to hit my car right now,'" Abbamonte said. "My friend was like 'yes it is,' and I said 'there's nothing I can do", and he was like 'no there's not,' so we just braced for impact, and hoped the windows didn't break."
Abbamonte says the decoration started in Triangle Park, which is owned and operated by BLT, a developer which runs much of the Harbor Point area.
She says she is hopeful that BLT will take responsibility, and work with insurance to get everything fixed as quickly and easily as possible.
News 12 reached out to both BLT and Stamford police to see where things stand, and so far, has not heard back.
