A TRAMPOLINE was blown into the middle of a dual carriageway in Bradford by Storm Eunice.
West Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Unit (RPU) shared footage of the moment one of their vehicles comes across the foreign object in the middle of the road.
The video shows the police vehicle moving down the outside lane of the dual carriageway, while a silver car drives slightly further ahead in the inside lane.
Rain is pouring down, with the windscreen wipers on the police car aggresively swiping up and down.
Suddenly, the officers in the vehicle comes across a blockage in the road.

It was a trampoline, facing upside down, that was covering half of the second lane of the dual carriageway and was partly resting on the grassy central reservation, next to a line of cones.
It had clearly been blown there by Storm Eunice which began raging last night and into today, across the country.
The police car comes to a steady stop as it approaches the trampoline.
Four vehicles pass by in the inside lane and then a police officer appears in front of the camera.
He lifts the trampoline and begins to drag it towards the first lane.
The officer checks for traffic coming, as a van goes past, and proceeds to drag the trampoline to the side of the road.
The RPU issued a warning to people alongside the footage.
It said: "Stay safe out there..."
