Woman falls into City trench

The woman said she was minding her own business, on the way to buying herself some medicine at a mall pharmacy when she suddenly realised her right leg, all the way to the hip, was stuck in some whole. “I did not quite understand it at first, but it dawned on me I had slipped through a hole into a trench,” she said soon after firefighters, assisted by members of the public pulled her from the trench.

Fright and pain had caused the woman to scream, when she suddenly found herself partly suspended between the trench and the solid slab through whose water access she had slipped into the trench.
