Local resident Liz Mahoney, 49, said they have had problems with the tight roads in the for years.
She said: "The first we heard of it was when we saw a police car blocking the road.
"The lorry didn't make the bend. It tried to reverse but the wheels started spinning.
"I think everyone was feeling sorry for him - he had taken a wrong turning.
"We were out there handing him cups of tea."
The driver, who slept in his cab, was reportedly heading to Swindon, Wilts.
