This is the traffic jammed moment when tourists following their satnav get their car stuck fast between two houses in a medieval street.
The holidaymakers had been trying to find their way through 13th-century Bosa, dubbed the most beautiful town in Italy's Sardinia region.
Phone footage recorded by locals shows the silver Toyota sandwiched between two walls, unable to go forwards or backwards.
Its rear wheels appear to be caught on a kerb, unable to get a grip to help it move one way or the other.
As the driver revs their engine, the car's bodywork can be heard cracking and bending as they try to get it through.

And it is jammed so tightly into the gap that the occupants cannot even climb out of the windows or doors.
Townspeople came to the car owner's rescue by lifting up the vehicle and helping to move it, local media reported on 21st April.
Police are understood to be checking the buildings for any structural damage.
