Wrong turn

A Swiss van driver had to be rescued by helicopter when he got stuck up a mountain.

Robert Ziegler called for help after directions from his satellite navigation system sent him up a remote footpath, unable to go forward or turn around when he got stuck near the peak at Bergun, Switzerland.

He said: "I was lost and I kept hoping that each little turn would get me back to the main road. In the end it told me to turn around but of course I couldn't by then."

A fire brigade spokesman said: "He claims he didn't see any footpath signs but he must have been a pretty fair driver to get that far up a glorified goat track."
