Car Wreck on South 49th Street

http://www.raggedhand.com
On my way back from the citizen trash drop-off in Southwest Philly, I happened upon this scene. According to bystanders, the previous night, the driver of the SUV had mistaken the Crescent Iron Works building for a train station and the space between the building and the bridge over the train tracks for the entry to the train station. Imagining she was simply pulling into a parking lot, she drove right through the fence and down the embankment. She was uninjured but clearly embarrassed by the scene. I wasn't able to capture the successful last pull as the city truck pulled the SUV the rest of the way up the embankment. See a couple of photos here: http://www.raggedhand.com/2009/06/wrecked/
