It sounds like an eventful night for all those involved: firefighters, police and the nurses and doctors who likely treated the thief. Luckily, there were no commuters around when the stolen Mazda 6 crashed into the station, and no bystanders were injured. The incident happened at around midnight; station is open to commuters daily from 8:00 am to8:00 pm, so the station was empty at the time.

I like to imagine myself riding the adjacent down — hopefully avoiding being run over and/or any flying debris — as the car crashed down the staircase and saying aloud, “Oh, look, an old Mazda 6. Don’t see those around much.”

Local reports say the details of the incident are still unknown, but the police claim they are currently investigating the case.
