小心,水泥未干!
Oops! Drivers sink into wet concrete
                       
 
As many as 10 vehicles drove around barriers and onto freshly poured concrete on a busy thoroughfare during rush hour. Two vehicles got stuck.
 
Police said once someone goes around the barricade and busts through the tape, others follow.
 
Several drivers quickly realized their mistake and were able to get back onto pavement. Bu two vehicles continued forward, became stuck and had to be towed.
 
The company that poured the concrete estimates it will cost $20,000 to replace it. Police have not yet decided whether to ticket to the two drivers who got stuck.
