A reportedly drunken woman was injured when she fell into a car parking lift in Busan at 1:50 a.m. Saturday.
The woman,
surnamed Kim
,
was apparently in a hurry to use the bathroom.
She ran into the lift to relieve herself where she could not be seen, but she fell two meters through a 60 centimeter gap between the lift and a wall, according to police. She broke her pelvis.
Firefighters rescued her, and she was taken to hospital.
Police are investigating why the parking lift was open and unstaffed, allowing anyone to enter.
