A bride had to be rescued by a police officer recently after her car broke down in the middle of the highway. 

Lydia Evans-Hughs, 29, from Wrexham, Wales, was on her way to her wedding last week when the vintage car she and her parents were riding in broke down, according to SWNS. 

Evans-Hughs told SWNS that the vintage car had been "fine for the first five miles" before it "just gave up the ghost."

"I was worried I'd have to climb over the crash barrier and be left stood at the side of the road," she said.

However, traffic officers soon arrived at the scene. 

"They saw it was a wedding car and offered us a lift," Evans-Hughs said. "That was the first time in the day that I had tears of relief."

Inspector Matt Geddes gave the bride and her parents a lift to the wedding and even turned on his car’s flashing lights and siren as they pulled up to the church.

"The slightly unusual arrival brought about some smiles following what must have been a stressful situation, being stuck at the side of a busy A55 is not nice at the best of times," Geddes said. "The bride looked beautiful, the sun was shining and she was only a little late. I hope the couple have a wonderful day and a long and happy life together."
