"The lorry driver heard a cat meowing and found it inside the bonnet"
Firefighters have rescued a cat from a lorry's engine in Wakes Colne today (28 July).
They were called out by the RSPCA to Spring Gardens Road at around 9.50am.
A crew from Colchester attended and managed to free the cat.
Crew manager Noel Bush said:
"The lorry driver heard a cat meowing and found it inside the bonnet.
"He had been parked overnight in Wormingford and it must have climbed up and got trapped in the windscreen wiper mechanism.
"We managed to use our tools to unbolt a few bits and free it.
"We left in the care of the RSPCA who believe it is a feral cat."
