VIDEO: Hoverboard blamed for destroying family home

The Horne family, from Louisiana in the US, had a lucky escape after buying one of this Christmas’ most sought after gifts.

Mother Jessica bought her delighted 12-year-old son Hayden a hoverboard from Amazon, but little did she know the chain of events it would trigger.

Also known as a self-balancing scooter, the hoverboard was a Fiturbo branded product according to Jessica.
