Texting Teen Falls Down New York City Manhole
Ever wonder what the New York City sewer system looks like? Ask 15 year-old Alexa Longueira. She got an unexpected hands-on tour when she fell into an uncovered manhole while walking and texting.
"It was four or five feet, it was very painful. I kind of crawled out and the DEP guys came running and helped me," Longueria told the Staten Island Advance. "They were just, like, 'I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Alexa suffered some scratches on her arms back and even lost a shoe in some "muck" when she fell into the Staten Island manhole.
Alexa's mother, Kim Longueira, plans on filing a lawsuit against the City of New York and says that it shouldn't make any difference that her daughter was walking and texting. Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) workers told Alexa's mother that they left the open manhole unattended for only a second as they went to fetch some cones from the truck.
