It seems that a 15 year old girl by the name of Alexa Longueira was minding her own business walking down the street texting without looking infront of her. While looking down at her phone she couldn’t see the open manhole that she then proceeded to fall into.

Despite her only scraping her back and shoulders, she remained physically unharmed. However, her mother told officials that she was mentally harmed as the sewer was ‘putrid’ and the fact that she lost a shoe while down there. This has lead the family to announce they will sue due to the incident.

I can just see it now, a new law being passed that prohibits youths from texting while walking. Then again, this is no ones fault other than the teenagers.
