Amazon driver's hilarious moment of heatwave madness! Delivery man falls head first into gravel after trying to hurdle homeowners' front gate... but luckily drives away without a scratch

This is the hilarious moment an Amazon driver falls face-first into gravel after trying to vault over a homeowner's front gate, in what appears to be a moment of heatwave madness. 

The delivery man was seen jumping over the gate of the home in West Sussex, after he couldn't figure out how to open it. 

After taking a run-up at the chest-high gate, he leapt over it and nearly cleared it. 

But his foot caught on the top of it, and he was sent tumbling downwards. The homeowner can be heard saying 'oh f***' as the driver fell. 

Thankfully, he managed to make it up without a scratch, before carrying on with his day. 

Brits have flocked to the beach, gone for a swim and flocked to Glastonbury as temperatures hit a scorching 31C in parts of the UK today.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued yellow heat health alerts across most of England while NHS leaders have said the service is expecting 'major disruption'.

While it is predicted to be very hot in parts of the country today, the scorching conditions from a heatwave are set to be short-lived as cooler weather is in store from Thursday.

Yesterday, the hottest temperature recorded was in Herstmonceux, near Eastbourne, in East Sussex where temperatures provisionally hit 29.4C - the hottest weather recorded in the UK so far this year.

That made it hotter than Torremolinos on the Spain's Costa Blanca where temperatures reached 29C (84.92 F) or Kos in Greece with the same temperature.
