A broken-down lorry has blocked a Cornish lane, leaving residents and holidaymakers unable to enter – or leave – Mullion Cove in their cars.
The lorry stopped at about lunchtime on Wednesday, and attempts to recover it have failed.
Retired Mullion Cove fisherman Barry Mundy said it had been “rather inconvenient” as his wife had had a knee replacement operation and had to walk around the obstacle using crutches to get to a hospital appointment.
Emma Sharland, who runs a holiday park in the cove, said all their guests “are trapped in or out of” the site.
She said recovery had been attempted on Wednesday, but the brakes and gearbox had seized.
Richard Stephens, who lives nearby, said: “The poor driver has been stuck in there all night.”
Mr Mundy said: “We’ve just got over Storm Goretti with no electricity, then no water, then for several days no Wi-Fi.
“Finally, we were back to normal, and then this happens.”
Roofer Chris Lonsdale was due to repair houses in the harbour which had been damaged by the storm.
He said running the ladders and kit around the lorry “keeps us fit”.
