A woman accidentally created a "one in a billion" moment as Google Maps captured her standing in the exact same spot, nine years apart, twice.

Leanne Cartwright was pictured at a traffic crossing on the corner of Victoria Place in London with a carrier bag in her left arm in April 2009.

Nine years later, Google captured her in exactly the same position holding two bags in a similar style in August 2018.

Leanne was quoted as saying by LADbible, "It's like I'm frozen in time. I'm standing on exactly the same paving slab and I've still got a bag on my shoulder. It's so funny but so bizarre."

She said, "People probably think I'm a time traveller. I could be the only person in the world who they've caught in exactly the same place almost a decade later."

She added, "I did see the car the first time, so when it got published we went on and had a look. Everyone thought it was quite funny and I didn't mind at all."

Her husband spotted the second picture when he was looking for the first one.

"When I saw it, I thought it was really bizarre. I hadn't even seen the car at the time, so I was flabbergasted," Leanne said.

She posted about the pictures on Facebook "because I don't know anyone else it's happened to."

Leanne continued, "I've had loads of likes. Someone mentioned about me being a time traveller. It's been funny reading the reactions. I'll be looking out for the car in future and if I see it, I'll have to jump on the same spot. You never know, I might be there next time. It'll make me smile when I walk past."

Here's what people said:

"That is actually crazy and cool at the same time."

"Is this not one of those one-in-a-billion chances? Amazing!"

"Bag in the same hand and also on the shoulder."
