Another Manhole Danger: Drinking and Walking

Posted by Alex in Pictures on July 15, 2009 at 12:12 pm


Texting and walking is bad for you, but drinking is no slouch either when it comes to the danger department. Here’s what happened to one intoxicated guy who fell into a drain and got himself wedged:

A motorist raised the alarm after he went to move a car parked next to the drain and spotted the trapped man.

He said: "I heard a voice saying help and at first I didn’t see him.

"Then I tried to pull him out but he was wedged tight. He didn’t see that jokers had removed the drain cover as he staggered home."

Firemen spent an hour removing part of the drain before they could pull the man free.

    However low you sink - there's always a way to sink lower.

    Yikes. Next I imagine we'll be seeing the aftermath of someone's unfortunate drinking/texting/walking incident?
