QuoteSatnav blunder leads to white van air rescue

These incredible images show the moment a white Opel van had to be airlifted from a mountain - after a satellite navigation system had directed the driver to travel up it.

The driver, 37-year-old Robert Ziegler, was making a delivery to Bergun, Switzerland, using his GPS unit for directions.

Unfortunately, the unit directed Mr Ziegler up a narrow mountain pathway, which he continued to follow until he became well and truly stuck.

"I was lost and I kept hoping that each little turn would get me back to the main road," he said.
