In Brief

A foreign tourist with a mini-caravan got stuck in an underpass in Trieste after following satnav directions. Firefighters deflated the tires and used a winch to free the trailer; only the solar panel was damaged.

In Trieste, Italy, a foreign tourist driving a car with a mini-caravan became stuck in an underpass connecting Via Cumano and Via di Montebello after following satellite navigation directions. The incident occurred on July 8, 2026.

Firefighters deflated the caravan's tires to reduce its height and used a manual winch to extract it. No injuries were reported. The only damage was to the solar panel on the caravan's roof, which some sources say contributed to the height issue. One source incorrectly places the event in Senise, but all others agree on Trieste.
