Bad GPS directions have led a truck to get stuck on a notorious hairpin bend in Wellington.

Second 2 None furniture removal owner and driver Joe Moana said he was on his way to pick up some home furniture from Ohiro Rd in Brooklyn when his GPS directed him down the steep and windy Devon St.

Moana said he would have been able to steer the truck around the bend, but the tyres had slipped slightly and it became stuck.

"Most of the streets are a bit like this, and we are usually pretty OK," he said.

Moana said there was no sign at the top of Devon St warning of the winding road.

The truck was mostly undamaged, save for a broken headlight.

The road, known for previous incidents, including stuck buses, was completely blocked by the truck, police central communications spokesman Peter Theobald said.

A specialist tow truck removed the stuck truck.

Devon St is a steep and winding road linking Aro Valley with Kelburn.
