A huge HGV got stuck in a tight spot after its driver took a wrong turn in a small town.
Video showed the articulated lorry blocking a junction after the failed manoeuvre.
It then had to reverse away from a tight 90-degree right turn with the cab perilously near a stone wall.

A car that had been heading towards the junction from the opposite way also had to back up.
It happened near the harbour in Brixham, Devon, on 19 March.
Eyewitness Tristan Northway said it was a close call.
But the driver got it right in the end by taking the corner a different way.
“The driver had already tried to pull out of the quay and head right up the hill,” he told Need To Know.
“But they realised straight away it wasn’t happening.
“There was no room and no chance.
“It wasn’t an easy spot to be in.
“So instead of forcing it or causing chaos, he made the call to drop back into town, turn it around properly, and take it up the hill the correct way.
“So fair play to the driver.
“They showed proper experience.
“Reading the situation, not panicking, and getting it done safely without making a bad situation worse.”
But some locals were shocked.
One said: “Why was he even trying to make that turn its obvious he won’t make that turn.”
Another added: “There are drivers and screwdrivers.
“Obviously never a chance of getting around that corner.”
And a third said: “Think the driver would have known not to make that turn.”
