This is why you should always be careful while walking and texting

A slender teenager got stuck when she tripped while texting - and got her entire leg wedged in a storm drain.

The girl, who has not been named, was focused on her mobile phone walking down the street in Mianyang City, in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

While she was busy texting a friend, she took her eye off the pavement and when she stepped on a drain, her slim leg went straight through the bars - wedging her left foot tightly.

Although passers-by stopped to help, she was completely stuck until someone called the fire brigade.

 They eventually freed her after a 45-minute wait.
