For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

Also from the same thread:

For people who aren't intimately knowledgeable about the Seattle rail system, the Mt Baker station is an elevated platform. Meaning she had to have driven the WRONG WAY on a railroad about 40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES to end up here.

Edit: it looks like it was not "several miles" but less then one mile; a notable feat anyway:

I work for an MTA. This sort of thing happens all the time. People are crazy ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Car traps are good, but still close up the line. In this case though maybe the car would be recoverable. Now they need a crane.

So the cars are able to fit through the entrance?

Yes. When the light rail vehicle enters the tunnel from the street, it's at the same grade as the traffic. All a car has to do is ignore signs and bumps, etc. Pretty sure they're usually blind drunk.

An MTA, I'm pretty sure there's only one MTA (ok well technically there's two)
