WASHINGTON — A Chinese teenager got a valuable — and embarrassing — lesson about distracted walking when her entire leg got lodged in a drain while texting.

The girl’s leg slipped through the metal grill of the drain, up to her thigh recently in China.

Her foot was lodged, and she was unable to move or free herself.

Passersby comforted the girl, and called the fire department, which was able to remove the bars and free the girl. She was scratched and bruised, but not seriously hurt.

An eyewitness Jun Niu, who posted pictures of the girl, said she was embarrassed to be trapped in the predicament.
