John Lewis lorry gets stuck in narrow lane in Bruton, Somerset - Daily Mail

John Lewis has apologised after one of its delivery lorries caused traffic chaos in a town in Somerset when the vehicle became stuck in a narrow lane (pictured left and right). Police and technicians went to the site and were attempting to tow the vehicle back up the hill, eventually freeing it, although a 300-year-old building was damaged in the process. It is understood that the impact took out a chunk of a corner of one of the nearby buildings, leaving a pile of rubble. The incident happened despite posters (inset) warning drivers of the risks of travelling down the lane.

As a truck driver myself my mind boggles at how you would get in this situation without ignoring a whole lot of width restriction signs, should never be allowed to drive a truck again as you start wondering what other signs they ignore.

[@MrSabretooth19]

might have had delivery somwhere on that lane, what i used to do is ring customer to see if theres safe route to take. personally i would not have driven between the houses.

Reminds me of my dog when it tries to reverse out from behind the sofa.

[@BOGNORregisSUCKS]

They show us this on our CPC course, the lorry was eventually freed, but damaged a 300 year old house in the process

Where is the rest of the vid? I wanna see how this truck moved out of the tight space...😏

How did he get out of the cab

[@Whothefuckdrivesastationwagon]

He's probably hiding below the steering wheel. I know i would be. Or he asked Captain Kirk to beam him up before the police turned up.

[@edsuffield2270]

Let me guess: he was just following the Sat-Nav.

[@yummyEnchilada]

how on earth did he drive it down here

[@danfriday1968]

King Isaac more to point is WHY

Why would you even attempt to go down that road

[@Turkiye958]

Even if your sat nav took you there it don't mean drive through it
