A man caught on video the moment a public art installation in Toledo, Ohio -- a giant, 250-pound red ball -- decided to run away and start rolling down streets lined with parked cars.
Part of a Toledo Museum of Art exhibit, the RedBall Project had been wedged between Roulet Jewelers and Ice Restaurant in downtown Toledo when a thunderstorm and strong winds this past Wednesday evening knocked the ball loose and caused it to start rolling away, according to Kelly Garrow, the museum's director of communications.
"It started pouring rain, so the ball was wet and slippery," Garrow told ABC News. "The wind picked up, and it popped up and just started going. You can see in the video that's going viral that it rolled about halfway down a block and then mysteriously took a left-hand turn. It made its way partially down the street before people caught up with it."
Instagram user jeremy419 posted the video to his account.
The ball, which is 15-feet wide in diameter, and a street sign that got bent, were fortunately the only things reported damaged, Garrow said, noting that no one was hurt.
