Teenage Girl Falls into Open Manhole While Messaging

on July 13, 2009 – 5:00 am3 Comments

According to CBS 2 News a Teenage Girl met with a rather weird accident . She fell into a Open Manhole when she was messaging while walking on the road.  There were no warning signs on the road according to the victim Alexa Longueira from New York City , USA. If its the state of affairs in USA , thinking about India. This incident comes as a wake-up call to Teenagers in India and SMS Addicts !

Its a common sight to see mobile users in India unaware about whats happening around them. Luckily Alexa was saved by a City worker from the 5 Foot deep hole and she’s doing fine. We have seen so many incidents of children falling into borewells in India.  So please act responsibly and don’t message / call while your driving or walking on the road.  Your SMS might be delivered but you might not reach your destination !

And these are the injuries Alexa suffered from the fall according to this pic from wpix and she is going to get a MRI Scan done to see if her spine was damaged.

    this girl and others like her need to be responsible for their own action….she was not paying attention. now she is planning a lawsuit. what if not paying attention caused injury to another person (i.e. she knocked down an older person)? would it be okay if that person sued her. this girl sounds like a moron and pinhead. her removal from future breeding stock would do wonders for the gene pool.

    Yes @cruddycat agree with you

    Other morons who text when on road should learn from this incident.

    But since no warning sign was present , isn’t it a fault on the authorities ? ( Even if there was one – she might have taken it along with her into the hole :-) )
