Overview
- A TikTok video by user @aubzbri shows a lit shell descending from Disneyland and striking the southbound side of Interstate 5 just feet ahead of an SUV.
- The vehicle continued through smoke and sparks without swerving or stopping, and the driver’s identity has not been reported.
- Disney had not issued a public statement and authorities had not announced an investigation at the time of reporting, and no legal action tied to this incident is known.
- A self-described part-time pyrotechnic suggested the shell launched but did not receive its detonation signal due to an ignition-chip issue, a theory that remains unverified.
- Coverage cites prior fireworks-related injuries and lawsuits at Disney parks in 2014 and 2023 and notes that some injury-reporting rules may leave minor incidents or near-misses undocumented.
