PICS: Giant flying minion causes minor accident on busy road

Cape Town – We love those cute little yellow things that have taken over the world - yes we’re talking about minions. But did this minion take it too far?

The Journal.ie reported that a giant inflatable minion flew across a busy road and caused a minor accident when the wind blew it loose from its restraints.

According to witnesses the oversized yellow ‘creature’ knocked the wing-mirror off of a driver’s car but thankfully there were no injuries.

While no one was hurt in the humorous accident, local Councillor Paul McCauliffe highlighted the dangerous effects of what could have happened and announced the Dublin City Council’s planning enforcement department would be investigating the incident.

In a statement he said: "Fairground events and festivals are really important in bringing footfall to our city villages but even the smallest events have health and safety conditions.

"I have asked the Council to provide me with a report on the incident and for the operators of the fairground to be interviewed by council officials."
