It's unlikely Hyacinth Bucket was the passenger in this car, but the precarious parking does suggest a rather abrupt and ill-timed stop.

People travelling down City Way, Rochester, had their heads turned this afternoon when passing the blue Fiesta.

Although next the road, the driver appears to have gone down the bank instead, bonnet first and into City Way, where it the car was stuck.

On Twitter @InstructorGeoff caught the scene on camera.

Taking to social media Nick hastings (‏@nhastings81) said: "Happened about a month ago [too], they think the little road goes round but instead there is the drop."

Grant W (‏@GrantWoolway) added: "I've seen that happen a couple of years ago, was only over the corner though, not that far up."
