Czech truck driver gets stuck down lane after sat nav system fails

A truck driver from the Czech Republic was left stranded for three nights in south-west England after his satellite navigation system directed him down a narrow country lane, UK newspapers reported on Friday. When driver Yuri Odenhai's 40-tonne lorry got stuck on a sharp bend his Czech-based company refused to pay for an expensive recovery operation. The vehicle was eventually towed out by a tractor after trees on the lane were trimmed. The driver spent the nights in the truck's cabin rather than pay for accommodation.
