Baffled passers-by spotted the van jammed under the 2.4-metre height barrier last night – and it was still there this morning.

Philip George, who lives nearby, says he was told about the incident on Tuesday night.

“I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw the van stuck in the Burstin this morning,” the 28-year-old said.

“I’m still baffled at how it managed to get that far before getting stuck.

“It’s actually kind of impressive in a weird way – how did she keep going that long?

“It is definitely a hilarious way to start the day.”

Other people saw the funny side after the images were shared on social media.

“Can’t park there, mate,” one person quipped.

Another wrote: “That’s a perfect fit. Let some air out the tyres and she’ll be fine.”

Someone else said: “Ouchy. I didn’t realise the roof was so low at the Burstin.”

Britannia Hotels, which runs the Grand Burstin, and Enterprise have been approached for comment.
