Giant spool rolls into oncoming traffic in Houston

HOUSTON, Tex. (FOX 13) - Texas drivers couldn't believe their eyes when a giant spool flew off a truck and went spinning down the road into oncoming traffic.

Victoria Martinez was driving along Interstate 10 in Houston when the giant wheel of industrial cables rolled down the highway.

It came off a truck that lost control of its load further up the road and it went spinning in the opposite direction.

Luckily, Martinez and the other drivers were able to get out of the way.

The giant roll's momentum stopped soon after.
