German woman mistakes subway for car park

A German woman in Dusseldorf blocked the entrance to an underground station when she mistook it for a subterranean car park, police said on Wednesday.

The 52-year-old drove her Volkswagen Beetle across the pavement and into the entrance, where it came to a halt five steps down.



The VW Beetle-Cabrio remained balanced on the fifth step and the woman was able to get out unaided and unharmed.

A local newspaper said the woman was more shocked and embarrassed than hurt.
