A road near St Dominick in the Tamar Valley was blocked for some time yesterday afternoon after a large lorry got stuck on a bend.

The driver, who had been following Sat Nav, came unstuck on Pil Head Corner, a double bend in the woods near Halton Quay.

One local resident who posted on the St Dominick Chat Facebook page said: “I spoke to the driver, just to make sure he was OK, he said he was waiting for a recovery truck. He had followed the Sat Nav.

“He had slid very slightly into the bank and gave up any more manoeuvres in case he went over the edge.”
