The terrifying pumpkin prank came nearly two decades after a near-deadly incident involving a frozen turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
A terrifying Halloween prank on Long Island could have had deadly consequences after a pumpkin was thrown out of a moving vehicle and smashed into the windshield of another car going the opposite direction.
The mangled windshield on Nick Costi’s car tells only part of the 22-year-old's harrowing story. He was driving home early Sunday with his girlfriend when Suffolk County police said someone in a passing car chucked the gourd out of their window. “As you see by the glass, it's pretty bad damage,” Costi said. “Thankfully it didn't go through the windshield...I'm thankful to be alive.”
Pieces of the pumpkin could be found along Townline Road in Hauppauge on Tuesday, where the car was hit two days prior. Amazingly, neither Costi nor his girlfriend was hurt, although the incident did leave the pair shaken up.
