TikTok creator Alex Fugman said a hit-and-run struck her parked car on a quiet Austin street, and her video of the incident has sparked debate after viewers noted the vehicle was parked facing the wrong way.

Footage posted by Alex Fugman shows the collision at 2:07, the other driver honking, backing up and driving away while Fugman said the other vehicle's windshield wipers were on; she said she cannot drive the car until it is repaired and has asked neighbors for help identifying the car.

The TikTok clip drew more than 1,500 comments, with many viewers noting the parked car faced the wrong way and several users suggesting the striking vehicle was a 2020 or 2021 Ford Escape.

Commenters were split between sympathy for Alex Fugman and assertions she could be partially liable because of the parking direction; she and her husband said they planned to drive around their Austin neighborhood looking for the fleeing vehicle.
