Smart Car Driver Stuck Between Wall and Bridge in Dreieich-Sprendlingen

In an unusual incident in Dreieich-Sprendlingen, a 75-year-old man found himself in a tight spot on Wednesday evening. His Smart car became wedged between a wall and a bridge railing after he mistakenly attempted to drive along a narrow footpath. The man's predicament was discovered by neighbours who heard scraping and screeching noises coming from the stuck vehicle. They alerted the police, who then called for assistance from the Feuerwehr. Firefighters arrived to find the Smart car firmly lodged in the narrow gap. They had to resort to an unconventional rescue method, extricating the man through the side window of his car. Despite the unusual circumstances, the driver emerged unharmed, though slightly intoxicated. The Smart car was eventually towed away after the rescue operation. The incident serves as a reminder for drivers to be cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially when driving in unfamiliar areas.
