This is the moment a massive lorry got wedged in a tiny street after the driver blindly followed the satnav. 

The 42-tonne lorry, which has foreign number plates and a Romanian driver, destroyed a garden fence, a hedge and a brick wall after becoming stuck in a narrow part of Alexandra Road.

Police were forced to close the street in Wellington, Somerset, on Wednesday while they freed the vehicle.

Becky Norris, whose hedge was flattened by the lorry, told MailOnline it was 'very dramatic.'

She said: 'I had to direct him. The lorry driver had come around the corner and up the road. 

'He got stuck on the corner, took out my six-foot hedge, a fence and another neighbour's wall. 

'We had been growing that hedge for eight years, but never mind - there's nothing we can do about it.

'I asked the driver to take out his paperwork and he was five miles out of his way. I thought 'oh dear' - he was very lost. 'I thought 'he's never going to get around the corner' but he succeeded in the end. We sort of had to break down a bit more of my neighbour's wall to get him out.' She added: 'You sort of had to be there to believe it. It was quite dramatic.'

Another resident, whose fence was damaged by the lorry, said: 'It did quite a lot of damage - it took my fence down completely.

'He had obviously taken a wrong turn. Vehicles can get down that lane, but only small cars really. 

'It's certainly something we'll never see again - no one else would attempt to get down there in a lorry that size, it was massive lorry.'

Another neighbour added: 'My next door neighbour's hedge was completely flattened - and the man across the road has had a great big chunk of his wall knocked down.

'You can see right into his garden now.'
