THE driver of this Oxford City Council rubbish lorry got his wheels in a spin while on his rounds in North Oxford.

The vehicle was collecting rubbish in Rogers Street, Summertown, on Tuesday when the mishap occurred.

Tim Nicholson, 42, who lives in a flat in Dudley Court, off Rogers Street, took this photo showing the lorry stuck in the street from 11.30am.

The father-of-one said: “The driver was trying to reverse into Dudley Court and its rear wheels got stuck on the slope and started spinning.

“It was a bizarre mishap, but I don’t think any residents were inconvenienced because you can get out of the street at both ends. Eventually, a Land Rover came along to pull the truck free.”

City council spokesman Louisa Dean said: “The truck was stuck for just under an hour.

“If any residents were inconvenienced, we would like to apologise.”
