An Amazon driver was left stranded after driving through ‘one of the UK’s deadliest roads’.

They were following their GPS trying to get to Foulness Island in Essex but were led to a treacherous 600-year-old walking path known as The Broomway in the dark on Saturday night.

The six-mile-long route can quickly become flooded as tides change and snakes through an Army firing range.
