Locals get spooked by dinosaur on the road

Motorists were confronted with a giant triceratops blocking a main road in the Isle of Wight.

It's believed that pranksters in Godshill village removed the giant plastic replica from a nearby activity park.

The dionosaur's owner - Martin Simpson of Island Gems said: "It must have taken five hefty lads to move it.

"It’s great people are talking about it, but I wouldn’t want to encourage anybody to cause a hazard for traffic.”

The dinosaur has since been moved back, but not before a picture was snapped of it standing proudly in the road to the amusement of many motorists.
