An Uber driver had to abandon his car on a track in Oldham after it became stuck on the rocky hillside as he followed his satnav.
The Mercedes Vito minibus got wedged on an unadopted lane across Saddleworth Moor on Saturday night, March 5, as the driver tried to head back towards Manchester after dropping off a late fare in Marsden. As he tried to get back to the A62, he followed his satnav's directions onto the rocky track near Delph, before getting completed stuck.
It's thought that the driver carried along the narrow rock-strewn path until his car ground to a halt, trying to reverse back to safety before abandoning the car and calling for someone to come and pick him up. Walkers out the next day initially thought the taxi had been stolen and dumped by joyriders, until the red faced cab driver returned to the scene and revealed the truth.
