Such a horrible way to die. Living/working in this city is so hard day to day and just simply stepping out your car and dying almost instantly because of this shitty lack of upkeep for the city is disgusting. Mayor after mayor governor after governor all cared for themselves and not the ppl of this city who keeps their pockets full
@TheBronxUser793436016 “free” sounds too good to be true, but the masses were suckered in anyway.
We have cameras everywhere. Should be easy enough to find out WHY it was left open.
@Romeomolly entrance to Jewish tunnels was left open
100% preventable! 100% liability on whoever is responsible for making sure the city infrastructure is not hazardous ⚠️
Its not city infra.
For anyone asking how she didn’t see, it was dark and there were no markings
