Motorists got the shock of a lifetime today when a giant inflatable Minion blew across the road.

The yellow creature, seen in the film, Minions, which was released this year, caused traffic chaos on the Old Swords Road, in Dublin.

The 40 foot inflatable has been stationed at a funfair in the Santry area.

But it came loose at around 3pm today and went tumbling down the street full of Bank Holiday motorists.

The incredible pictures, which were posted to Facebook by Erin Van Londen, shows a number of people appearing to help gardai deflate the yellow creature.
