Texting Teen Falls Down Manhole
This just in: A teen in New York City feel down an open manhole while texting. (full story, video)
Reports indicate that workers had stepped away from the manhole for “just seconds” to retrieve orange cones from their truck. In an instant, Alexa Longueira went from walking along the sidewalk to five feet underground!
She suffered minor cuts and bruises but will be just fine. The family is thinking about filing a lawsuit.
Let this be a warning to us all: Beware your surroundings when texting!
