PEORIA, Ariz. — Halloween came early for drivers and pedestrians as a giant, inflatable pumpkin emerged from a group of trees before bouncing through an Arizona intersection and down the roadway Thursday.

A video caught the pumpkin's journey in Peoria.

The video shows the 25-foot tall, 350-pound orange jack-o'-lantern roll across multiple lanes of traffic before it got stuck beneath a streetlight pole. It then broke free and rolled off into the distance.

"I was so shocked to see that it was like bouncing like a basketball all the way down the road," said Patrick Sparkes with Big AZ Promotions.
