A truck driver in Kinding in the Upper Bavarian district of Eichstätt chose a bad route. In order to avoid a blockade at a roundabout, the 62-year-old rumbled over a bicycle bridge.

After that, however, he couldn't get any further: he ended up in a dead end. While driving on the shoulder, the vehicle sank so deeply into the mud that it had to be pulled out by a special vehicle in a complex and time-consuming rescue operation.
