It was a bit of a tight squeeze (Picture: INS)

Oh dear.

This car accident ended up a fairly impressive attempt at parking in a tight spot.

Firefighters had to be called in after the driver of the black BMW lost control of her vehicle and mounted a grass bank alongside a house.

Somehow, the car then gracefully slid on its side before neatly dropping perfectly into the slot between the house and the bank.


The motorist had to be pulled to safety by fire crews and, thankfully, she was not seriously hurt.

The drama happened in Carrington Road, High Wycombe, Bucks., yesterday afternoon and caused something of a spectacle for passing pedestrians and drivers.



Crews from Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service freed the driver at around 3.58pm and paramedics from the South Central Ambulance Service rushed to the scene to treat the driver, who was suffering from shock.

A safety cordon was placed around the vehicle until the car was removed by the fire crews.
