In a scene that can only be described as surreal, a runaway John Deere tractor wreaked havoc at a Walmart superstore parking lot in Richmond Hill, a town located in Southern Ontario, Canada, on Wednesday. The incident was caught on film by a couple who uploaded the video on Youtube.
Here’s how they described the incident: “My girlfriend and I was going to get my car wash, however both car was stations were closed. We took a shortcut route to home which pass by our local Walmat parking lot and to our surprise, we noticed a group of spectators all looking at the far end of the parking lot and the video will explain the next 5 minutes of what happened.....”
And what happened next could scare Stephen King. The driver-less tractor was going around in circles destroying everything in its path including two parked vehicles, a fire hydrant and a lamppost. Perhaps even scarier is the fact that most people simply sat and enjoyed the sight with only one man attempting (albeit unsuccessfully) to jump on the tractor to stop it. Two police cars also came to the scene and….chased the tractor, which finally came to a stop when it rammed the lamppost
According to media reports from Richmond Hill, the York Regional Police are still trying to figure out who put the tractor in gear and let it loose.
