The vehicle, left hanging over a sheer drop, was awaiting rescue today, and the pictures, used by permission, were taken by Chris Gaunt.

Having gone through the wall and over the edge towards the steep drop, a daylight operation using specialist equipment will be necessary to safely extract the vehicle before the road can be re-opened, police said earlier today.
