Strip Mall Fall: Giant Candy Cane Crushes Car

KDVR-TV:

CENTENNIAL, Colo. -- Holiday decorations hanging high from above are supposed to make people feel jolly, but it certainly didn't in this case.

A giant candy cane fell from a light pole and crashed down onto Phil and Jessica Goodrich's car.

The accident happened earlier this month in a strip mall parking lot at University and Arapahoe in Centennial.

The four foot candy caused significant damage. It seriously dented the roof and hood, and broke the windshield -- enough to total the 1991 Toyota Corolla and throw a wrench into the family's holiday plans.
