BERTHOUD, Colo — Multiple people have reported significant damage to their vehicles after they were hit by water balloons tossed from a Berthoud overpass, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) said Tuesday.

According to a Facebook post from the Sheriff's Office (LCSO), numerous people reported that someone had dropped water balloons onto their vehicles from the overpass on W County Road 19E.

Fortunately no injuries have been reported, but six vehicles have sustained significant damage to their windshields, according to LCSO.
