All wheels on deck

- By Samantha Kett

A PARKED car literally fell off the edge of the port in Gandia on Monday and landed on the deck of a fishing boat.

The Kia was seen with its front wheels on deck, one back wheel teetering on the edge of the pier, and the other suspended in mid-air.

Miraculous­ly, neither the car nor the boat – which had not long returned from a day's fishing and had dropped anchor to unload its catch - were badly damaged.

The driver had parked up in a hurry to 'run some very quick errands', and forgotten to put the handbrake on.

It took about an hour for a tow-truck to lift the car back onto all four wheels.

Driving or parking on the fishing pier is banned, except for authorised vehicles.
