A woman from Barnstaple, Devon, who accidentally called police 3,000 miles away in Barnstable, Massachusetts, has blamed a computer search programme for the mix-up.
She called police to report a car crash near Muddiford on Monday.
But she ended up speaking to police in the USA after using Windows 'digital assistant' Ask Cortana to find the number.
"I haven't stopped laughing," she said.
The call lasted two and a half minutes before American officer Mark McWilliams realised it was from England.
