Cadillacs fall into sinkhole at Leominster dealership
LEOMINSTER - Flooding rains caused significant damage across Leominster on Monday, including at a local dealership.
WBZ-TV video from the scene showed three Cadillacs in a sinkhole outside the Durand Cadillac dealer on Main Street. Crews were lifting the cars out of the sinkhole Tuesday morning.
The owner said he does not have flood insurance on the vehicles - which are valued at $65,000 each.
"Trying to get those cars out of there without any more damage," dealership owner Rick Durand said. "Hopefully they didn't get wet inside."
Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella said dozens of cars around the city were washed off roads by rising waters, including some at the dealership. He said hundreds of vehicles needed to be towed overnight.
