Officers from GMP said the man had a lucky escape after inadvertently following his sat-nav directions into the Bridgewater Canal in Eccles on Sunday evening (11th April).
Fortunately the driver was able to be rescued without getting his feet wet.
A spokesperson for GMP said via Twitter:
Quote
“This taxi was rescued by RPU west A-relief in Eccles after the driver followed his sat nav straight into the Bridgewater Canal.
“Very lucky escape for the embarrassed driver.”
It shows that despite all the modern technology we have at our disposal, a keen eyesight and a little common sense are the best tools we can own when behind the wheel of a vehicle.
