The giant World Cup ball, torn from its place due to a storm in El Salvador, caused traffic chaos. Many vehicles narrowly escaped causing accidents.
The fierce storm that hit El Salvador left behind an extraordinary image that wouldn't be out of place in a movie. A giant replica of a World Cup ball, torn from an advertising or promotional area in the city center by the storm's force, rolled onto the main road, causing traffic chaos.
VEHICLES NARROWLY AVOIDED ACCIDENTS
Drivers who saw the giant ball rolling rapidly down the road due to the strong winds were bewildered. Dozens of vehicles in motion had to make sudden maneuvers to avoid colliding with the huge replica speeding toward them. While many drivers narrowly escaped crashes, a brief panic ensued in traffic.
CAPTURED MOMENT BY MOMENT ON CAMERAS
The moments were recorded second by second on the cell phone cameras of other drivers and citizens nearby. The footage, which quickly spread on social media, made viewers say, 'This only happens in movies.' Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, and traffic returned to normal after the giant ball was removed from the road.
