Firefighters were stunned after being called to find a car pinned between two buildings.
The 87-year-old driver crashed a red Kia car into a guardrail after trying to park on the wall after his birthday dinner.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Services were called to the Ivybridge site yesterday afternoon and seemed confused on arrival.
Various harness devices were used in the rescue operation.
Middlemoor’s Heavy Rescue Tender (HRT) vehicle was also involved in this scene.
Simon Carey, a Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service response team, revealed the incident on Twitter.
He writes: The 87-year-old driver who went out for his birthday dinner was a little worried.
“A strong rescue offer from the crew at Ivy Bridge and Middle Moore attended. Two outriggers, two canvas winches and a motor winch carried the car to safety. No injuries!”
No one was injured as a result of the incident.
