The Telegraph has reported that five cars have been directed down pedestrian-only street steps in Teruel, Spain after drivers blindly followed incorrect instructions on their satnavs.

As a result of the latest Italian Job-style manoeuvre, a car had to be rescued by a crane from a cobbled staircase in the pedestrian thoroughfare of the medieval town.

Four other drivers were also rescued in recent weeks and it's possible more have gone unreported.

A resident commented, "I can't understand why someone would try to drive down there, it's obvious from the top of the street that it is a staircase."

The local council has said it will install bollards at the top of the staircase to stop further occurrences.
