COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO)- It was a rude awakening for residents in southern Colorado Springs when they heard a loud crash. Viewers called into the station telling KRDO13 someone stole their car and took it for a joyride leaving behind several wrecked cars.
At least four cars were all smashed together. One of the car’s front bumper is almost completely detached. The wreck is now leaving some of these drivers without a way to get to work.
Around 5 a.m. Saturday morning Max Imussell woke up to what he calls a crazy alarm.
“I heard a loud squeal and a crash. It sounded like it went through a building,” recounts Max Imussell.
When his wife checked what had happened she found their car on the curb.
“I’m just disappointed. I mean, like, why?” ponders Jackson Martin.
Martin is the victim of the car theft. But he says his car isn’t the only thing thieves took. The Fort Carson soldier says military equipment, a toolbox, and a knife were taken in the process.
The thieves left a trail with skid marks through the Broadmoor Ridge Apartment Complex.
