Daily Mail: Villagers spend 24 hours helping rescue 40ft Polish truck which got trapped on a country lane after driver followed sat nav

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

An entertaining report from the Daily Mail:

One wrong turning became a 24-hour rescue mission after a hapless Polish lorry driver followed his sat-nav into a dead end.
He had ignored signs warning that the road was not suitable for HGVs and got the 40ft wagon stuck on a tight bend.
A team of around ten workers from a specialist recovery team then spent more than 15 hours digging out earth from the side of the road to ease it free.
