Tourists using sat-nav jam car in narrow Tenby footpath

Nov 4,2022 12:11 pm

By Rowenna HoskinBBC News

A car was left jammed in a narrow footpath in a seaside town for a week after two tourists went the wrong way using sat-nav.

The Driver managed to wedge the new Nissan Juke between two walls near the RNLI station in Tenby, Pembrokeshire.

The Mechanic who helped get it out said The American women blamed their sat-nav before abandoning The Car and catching a train to their hotel.

" No-one's ever got a vehicle Down There before, " said Stephen Lowe .

They were trying to get to St Catherine's Island, which is at the foot of the nearby beach.

Mr Lowe said The Tourists drove until they could go no further.

A protected Victorian heritage wall perched on the cliff made the extraction tricky.

" [The Walls were] touching on both sides of The Car , " He Said . " They got it wedged and they just put more power on.

" There's normally a bollard on the footpath but that was out at The Time , and They Went onto the footpath. "

Mr Lowe and his colleagues came up with a plan.

" We had to winch The Car backwards all The Way using a winch right at The Top of The Path , " He Said .

The Work began on Thursday night, when they had to scrape mud from the footpath so The Car 's wheels could get traction.

Early on Friday The Team began slowly dragging it out, and it took More Than four-and-a-half-hours to finish.

But The Vehicle nearly met a sticky end.

Mr Lowe said: " They were talking about cutting up The Car where it was and scrapping it.

" It's a Brand New car as well. "
