Car Drives 1 Mile Underground in Buffalo, New York Subway
There was a wild situation that happened in the underground subway in Buffalo, New York. Someone started driving down the subway tunnel and made it about a mile underneath.
Buffalo Toronto Public Media reported that there was an abandoned vehicle underground near the Allen/Medical Campus and Summer-Best stations.
The NFTA tells BTPM News that the SUV was driven into the subway on Friday night. Police arrested the driver for driving while intoxicated, among several other charges.
A spokesperson said there was minimal damage to the tracks, and the Jeep was eventually removed today.
Check out the picture that people saw in the tunnel when they were on their way to the Sabres game on Friday night.
This story kind of reminded of the situation that happened earlier this year in Buffalo, New York when there were people inside of the Buffalo Sewer Authority Underground Tunnel. They were kayaking and went for miles under the ground in the tunnel and the posted the video that they took on social media.
As you can imagine, the Sewer Authority did not like it. They don't like it because they do not want anyone else to do it or copy cat the idea. They released a statement after it happened over the summer:
The Scajaquada Drain is an approximately four-mile-long underground culvert system that is the buried section of Scajaquada Creek under the auspices of Buffalo Sewer.
...with all Buffalo Sewer infrastructure, there are numerous hazards to health and public safety as entry to the drain and other underground infrastructure requires specialized equipment, training, and permitting for operation, inspection and maintenance purposes.
