Manhole on Orlando’s Illinois Street Still Not Repaired
It seems that a manhole cover located along the 1200 block of Orlando’s Illinois Street has torn the bottom off of yet another vehicle. This latest incident happened to a woman named Shirley Wang as she was navigating her Mini Cooper down Illinois Street. She reports that there were a few garbage cans placed further out in the street than expected and she maneuvered her car around them. Unfortunately, in her attempt at redirection, she drove her car directly over a manhole cover that many people claim to be far higher off of the asphalt than is safe. Wang said that she heard a loud scraping and grating sound along the bottom of her car. When she exited the vehicle to check on the situation, she saw that her transmission as well as a few other parts of her vehicle had been ripped off by the manhole. Read the rest »
