BRITAIN’S biggest pumpkin caused traffic chaos when it fell off its trailer.
The supersize squash, which weighed in at 2,565lb, about the same as a small car, toppled into a hedge on its way to a festival.
Luckily, it remained intact after it was recovered with a telehandler near Southampton.
Ian Paton, 61, who grew it with twin Stuart, said: "We were moving the pumpkin into a different car park and it was so heavy that the trailer tipped.
"There will have been lots of photos taken I'm sure - it's not very often you see a pumpkin like that.
"I'm sure its going to go viral now, but it's all good publicity.
"Luckily the pumpkin wasn't seriously damaged and no one was hurt - it has got a few bruises but nothing major.
"It will now be going on display at Sunnyfields Farm where everyone can come and take pictures with it."
