A 77-year-old tourist on an Alpina B3 Touring was let down by a navigator and ended up stuck on a hiking trail leading to a village located by Lake Wolfgang in the Austrian state of Salzburg.
The man completely trusted the device and followed its instructions, ignoring road signs and warnings of passers-by that the car would not pass on this road.

Despite the fact that the path was clearly narrowing, this did not stop the elderly gentleman, he continued to move forward until there was no place left to squeeze through.
In pictures released by the St. Gilgen fire department, the car was literally squeezed between a fence and a rock.
