This is the moment when a woman got stuck in the toy car familiar to every UK nursery playground, ever – and had to be cut out using a bread knife.

Zoe Archibald, 34, climbed into her one-year-old cousin’s classic red and yellow Little Tikes car for a joke, but got wedged.

She was unable to wriggle free and was trapped for an hour before her dad Kevin sawed through the plastic to free her.

Her nephew, Matthew Shepherd-Bull, 26, who filmed her release, said: “There was no way she could get herself out. Everyone found it funny, even Zoe.

“Well, she was a bit panicked but mainly found it funny. It was just a joke.”

Zoe, from Brechin, Scotland, got trapped during a family gathering on Friday after she joked about how she thought she could fit into the tiny plastic car.

She soon realised she couldn’t climb in, so it was placed over her head. But the car got jammed around her midriff.

The video shows Zoe with the car stuck on around her back, with its roof jammed into the back of her neck.

“Her dad had to cut her out,” explained Shepherd-Bull. “The best thing we could find was a bread knife. It took about 15 minutes to cut through the plastic.”

And then she was free. But don’t try this one at home, folks.
