Riders of the NFTA Metro Rail were caught off-guard at the sight of a Jeep Cherokee nearly one mile into the subway system.
Numerous social media users pointed out over the weekend the presence of an abandoned vehicle underground near the Allen/Medical Campus and Summer-Best stations.
The NFTA tells BTPM News that the SUV was driven into the subway on Friday night. Police arrested the driver for driving while intoxicated, among several other charges.
A spokesperson said there was minimal damage to the tracks, and the Jeep was eventually removed today.
