Disneyland Firework Misfires, Lands on I-5 in Front of Moving SUV

No injuries or official investigation were reported, raising questions about off‑property fireworks safety.

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.
