350-pound inflatable pumpkin gets loose on highway

ARIZONA -- A Halloween hazard of mammoth proportions wreaked havoc on an Arizona highway this week.

High winds tore a giant inflatable jack-o-lantern loose from its tether, sending it rolling along the roadway.

The 25-foot-high, 350-pound pumpkin bounced along, smashing into traffic signals and frightening onlookers before it finally punctured and deflated near a playground.
