WASHINGTON — A huge inflatable pumpkin got loose in Peoria, Illinois Thursday, and bounced its way down the road.
“I was so shocked to see that it was like bouncing like a basketball all the way down the road,” Patrick Sparkes with Big AZ Promotions tells USA Today.
Big AZ Promotions owns the pumpkin that broke free from a display promoting the Peoria Monster Bash at the Peoria Sports Complex.
As the pumpkin blew down the street, it took out streetlights but didn’t injure anyone. People are seen jumping out of the way in a video taken by Diego Ramirez.
The weather is believed to have contributed to the pumpkin getting away.
