West Country coastal path blocked by Mercedes after driver took strange route

A driver blocked a popular walkers' route after taking a bizarre route between two beaches. Annoyed amblers were forced to shuffle past the Mercedes that had stopped halfway between Plaidy and East Looe Beach, in Cornwall.

It's not known exactly how long the vehicle was there for. One walker said their route was disrupted by the vehicle both on their way to Looe at 11:30am.

On their way back towards Plaidy at around 12:30pm, they had to take an alternative route as they noticed that a temporary fence had been put in place, blocking the path, reports Cornwall Live.

The walker told CornwallLive: "There was a lady reporting the car to the police this morning about 11:30. She was wondering how on Earth they were going to get it recovered.

"There was a temporary fence blocking the path when we walk back towards Plaidy about 12.30."

Earlier this year, a car washing facility at the Sainsbury's store in Castle Court was temporarily out of action when a van became stuck inside the facility. The eyewitness told Bristol Live that the vehicle was wedged inside for more than one week.
