Exactly. A massive lorry jackknifed. It spilled hundreds of flamingos, swans, and giant unicorns across three lanes.
Imagine the scene. Traffic stopped. A sea of pink plastic. And one very grumpy goose sitting on a deflated shark. It’s the kind of chaos you pay to see.
The driver, a woman named Brenda, climbed out unharmed. She just said, “I’m never driving near a farm again.” Classic Brenda.
The Real Villain: A Single Goose
Police reports are wild. They say the entire pile-up started because one goose had a vendetta. It charged a motorcycle.
The motorcyclist swerved. He hit a cone. That cone flew into a minivan. The minivan driver—get this—was eating a banana and dropped it in shock.
And that’s how we got a ninety-car domino effect. All because of a piece of fruit and a fowl temper. Seriously.
Now, the broken cars weren’t even the weirdest part. When rescuers arrived, they found a toaster in the middle of the highway. A toaster. No bread. Just toaster.
Where did it come from? A campervan had a faulty roof rack. The toaster, a bag of marshmallows, and a garden gnome all took a leap of faith.

Marshmallows everywhere. It looked like a giant’s breakfast explosion. The gnome survived. He’s now a local meme.
