MIAMI - Authorities rescued a 55-year-old woman who drove a motor scooter into an open storm drain and became trapped about six feet under ground.
The woman's injuries were not life threatening. The woman, who was not identified, apparently took the scooter out around 11 p.m. Tuesday and drove into an uncovered storm drain which was surrounded by orange barricades, according to a report in The Miami Herald. She then became wedged in the hole and could not get out.
"It was actually a good thing that she got wedged like that," said Ignatius Carroll, a fire department spokesman. "There is water at the bottom of that drain. If she fell much farther, she could have drowned."
