Cornwall's narrow country lanes have left many a driver in a fix, especially when it comes to reversing – but for one motorist this week even going forwards proved to be a problem, at the worst possible moment.

This picture shows a car getting wedged between two hedges near Camborne earlier this week – while it was being followed by police.

The dark-coloured estate car can be seen with the brake lights on as the person behind the wheel realises they can go no further.
