A visit to Elche's New Cemetery resulted in a bizarre turn of events for one motorist whose car ended up perched precariously on top of a bench.

According to Local Police, the driver had rushed out of his car to put rubbish in a bin at around 12.20pm on Sunday January 9, but failed to apply the vehicle's button-operated handbrake and the car rolled down a four-metre slope onto the top of a bench placed at the end of a wall.

Nobody was hurt in the incident, but the car had to be removed using a crane and the wall and bench suffered structural damage.

The extraordinary image has been shared on Elche Local Police's social networks to serve as a warning to other motorists, with the caption: "When stopping or parking your car, make sure it is properly immobilised and, amongst other things, do not leave valuables in sight".
