Sat-Nav Puts Driver On Rail Line
« on: January 18, 2008, 11:31:37 AM »
A takeaway delivery driver caused train delays after he misunderstood sat-nav directions and drove onto a railway line in Suffolk. The foreign student, 26, turned onto the tracks instead of a small road just after a level crossing at Oulton Broad (link below.)

His car then got stuck between a cattle grid and track, Suffolk Police said.

Trains were stopped after the student and his passenger failed to push their Daewoo Matiz off the line at Oulton Broad North station on Tuesday night.

Trains on the line from Lowestoft to Norwich were delayed for more than an hour before a recovery vehicle towed the car away at 2040 GMT.
