Drivers in the town of Des Moines, Iowa, got quite a surprise last week when a giant inflatable yellow rubber duck came rolling towards them down the road.
According to ABC6 News, the giant duck broke free from its tethers last Thursday where it was appearing as part of a charity event for an annual duck derby for a group called YES (Youth and Emergency Shelter Services).

In a video that captured the incident, we see show just how crazy it was for those on the road as the inflatable duck couldn’t be deterred. It just kept rolling down the street after hitting mailboxes and phone polls.
According to officials, no one was hurt during incident as the duck enjoyed the breakaway stroll.
Shockingly, there’s another notable example of a runaway inflatable duck that escaped its bonds.
Last month, a large rubber duck named Daphne escaped a swimming competition in Australia and was found a week later hundreds of miles away, according to the BBC.
