A lorry became stuck in the same location in 2007 and also required a crane to lift it out.
One local said: said: "Having a lorry stuck in the road here every 16 years is probably the most interesting thing that happens here”. Another said: "The guy who is in charge of the crane operation was the same man who lifted the last lorry out that got stuck 16 years ago''.
