A teenaged girl got a surprise while walking and texting on her phone recently – she stepped into an open manhole and fell into the sewer below.


She suffered scrapes on her arms and back as a result of the 5 foot drop, along with a scare and a bruised ego.  She was also covered in smelly sewage when the workers retrieved her, and she lost one of her running shoes.

The girl was walking down the street, texting on her phone and not looking where she was going. City workers were flushing out the sewer system in the area and stepped away for a few seconds to get cones to mark the danger when the girl fell in.

Her mother plans on suing the city because the workers should have been more diligent in enforcing safety protocols and barricaded the manhole, or at least marked it before opening it.

No word on if the girl muttered hole eeee shit on her way down.
