A helpful Amazon driver prevented traffic chaos after a lorry got stuck at a notorious pinch-point.

Kenny Butlins, who lives near Dolphin Road, Sittingbourne, saved the day after a large vehicle got itself wedged between width-restrictions near the Eurolink business park.

The 44-year-old said: "It was Good Friday and this lorry driver totally missed the signs along the bottom of Dolphin Road which warns about the width-restrictions.

"I think he thought he could squeeze through. He wasn't from the area and told me he'd never been here before."

Thanks to the delivery driver's quick thinking the lorry was stuck at the Church Road restrictions, for no more than half an hour.

Kenny continued: "I managed to direct him out by getting him to do a few reverse manoeuvres.

"Whilst doing this I was directing traffic from both directions with the help of two other gentleman."

Kenny's quick thinking meant that police and other emergency services weren't needed at the scene.

He added: "Some motorists were very rude and impatient, it was a great shame.

"After we got the lorry out the driver headed back down the Eurolink and then around to the A2 after I gave him directions."

This isn't the first time a vehicle has gotten stuck after driving through the traffic calming measures.

In August last-year an ASDA delivery van got stuck at the same pinch-point but in the opposite direction.

The route is notorious for the number of drivers caught out by the width restriction, where countless vehicles have been damaged over the years.

Raised kerbs and a traffic island make the road considerably narrower and it is designed to reduce speed and prevent larger vehicles, such as lorries, from using it.
