A CAR transporter carrying nine vehicles got stuck in a narrow country lane near Wellington.

Angela Boyd was astonished to see the huge lorry wedged between two hedgerows as she drove her dog for a walk between Holywell Lake and Thorne St Margaret yesterday morning (Thursday, April 21).

"I just couldn't believe it," said Angela, who was forced to turn back and take another route.

"Why would such a huge vehicle try and get down such a tiny space?"

She said the front of the vehicle was jammed into the side of the lane, while one of the cars on the transporter hit a branch of an oak tree.

"Apparently it had come from Scotland," added Angela.

"It knocked into the banks.

"Someone had told the driver he couldn't go that way because he'd get stuck, but he said his boss had told him to go that way."

Angela said the transporter was moved later in the day, with a pile of earth left at the entrance to a nearby field.
