A police spokesman said the officer attempted a U-turn on State Highway 1 on Sunday afternoon after talking with a speeding motorist he had pulled over.
During the manoeuvre, the patrol car became stuck after hitting loose gravel on the side of the road.
The local farmer saved the day by helping the policeman get the car out.
The vehicle was not damaged and the officer was able to return to normal duties, the spokesman said.
