A group of migrants trying to get to the UK on a lorry got the surprise of their lives when they entered the fast-moving heavy goods vehicle and came face-to-face with the caged animal called Nissan.

The bear was travelling from Eastern Europe and was heading for Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster.

A Yorkshire Wildlife Park spokesman said the migrants had jumped into Nissan's lorry near the Calais lorry park on Tuesday morning (13.10.15).

Nissan made it to the park safely, however the migrants only lasted 10 minutes before being thrown out by French police.

The bear, called Nissan, was in slow-moving traffic outside the French town when a group of people managed to open the back doors of his truck.
