‘Scary and terrifying’: Video shows bus dragging basketball hoop down Cape Coral street<\/p>\n

\"NicoleCAPE CORAL, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

A Cape Coral neighborhood was left stunned after a bus was seen dragging a basketball hoop down the street, with residents describing the scene as surreal and frightening. <\/p>\n

“Sounds like it came out of the scene of a movie like; it’s unbelievable. That’s what it is,” said Lesandro De La Rosa, a neighbor. <\/p>\n

The incident was captured on video, showing the bus dragging the hoop for at least half a block. <\/p>\n

“To see a bus come all the way, dragging the basketball hoop from who knows where. It seems kind of crazy,” said Ashley Marie De La Rosa, another neighbor. <\/p>\n

Ashley Marie and her family walk around the neighborhood daily, and she said she saw the mangled hoop on the side of the road yesterday. <\/p>\n

“I mean, that’s just scary and terrifying, considering that we walk to her school every day. She’s right at Cape Elementary, and we walk every day. And, I mean, we walk this way, you know, because we have the doctor right here, too,” she said. <\/p>\n

The Cape Coral Police Department said they have no incident reported regarding the situation.<\/p>\n
