PEORIA: A giant inflatable pumpkin was seen bouncing down a Peoria road in United States after blowing free of its straps.
There were no injuries from the pumpkin’s dash for freedom, but there was some damage done to streetlamps.
Diego Ramirez captured video of the 25-foot-tall jack o’lantern blowing around in traffic after it broke free of its straps at the Peoria Sports Complex.
‘I was so shocked to see that it was like bouncing like a basketball all the way down the road,’ Patrick Sparkes of Big AZ Promotions, the company that owns the decoration, told KPNX-TV.
The company said the 350-pound pumpkin broke free from its straps with the help of strong winds.
‘We showed up and it wasn’t there and we spent the last 40 minutes driving around looking for it,’ Sparkes said.
