An Amazon delivery driver was forced to desert his van after he became trapped on a muddy footpath.
Residents in Oldham, Greater Manchester – where the van became stuck – said that the vehicle had been wedged beside a tree for “at least 24 hours”.
Locals shared images of the bizarre sight on social media, with the first photo captioned: “If you’re waiting for an Amazon delivery, maybe it’s here in this van stuck off Ladcastle Road…”.
A second image was shared to the Uppermill Community group on Facebook a day later, with the photographer mounted on a horse and unable to get past the van situated on a muddy woodland path.

Residents reacted with amusement to the bizarre sighting, with both posts having a combined total of over 250 likes and almost 100 comments.
One said: “Someone else posted yesterday on the same page, so [it has been there for] at least 24 hours. It’s definitely not for vehicles obviously!”
Another joked: “It’s only a minute away from me I’ll get up there with my crowbar.”
A third chimed in: “Is there an Amazon van out there without any dents or scrapes?”

Another said they had been close to making the same mistake as the Amazon delivery driver in the past.
They commented: “It’s happened to me, sat nav took me down the uppermill canal tow path. Was not funny at the time, now it’s a real good giggle.”
“Sat navs have a lot to answer for”, one added.
An Amazon spokesperson said: “We’re working with our delivery service provider to remove the vehicle.”
