Sat nav directs drivers to river

Drivers have ended up with wet feet after they followed satellite navigation directions - into a river.

The satellite system directs drivers to go across a ford known as The Splash in Luckington, Wilts but the drivers end up in 3ft of water.

Locals are now charging £25 a time to pull them out with tractors reports The Sun.

Villager Lesley Bennett, 59, said: "There are warning signs but drivers plough on regardless."

Julie Jackson, 45, who had to abandon a Rover with mum Delcie Fielder, 70, said: "The car gurgled and that was it."

Sat nav supplier TomTom said: "We could re-route drivers."
