A teenage girl has been arrested over the alleged incident, which resulted in a crash but no injuries.

Coolest kid in her school now for sure.

    First off, epic joyride. That’s how you end up with a nickname you get to explain when you’re 50.

    Second off, we keep saying more people should take public transportation, and I feel this arrest sends a mixed message.

        Either way the nickname should be “Subway”.

        “Did you meet Subway?” “… What?” “You gotta hear this story, dude! Gramma, tell Ricky your story!”

        “Did you meet The Subway Murderer? Dude, don’t fuck with her, she runs this cell block.”

    This girl is a legend.

    Surveillance images released by police showed one suspect dressed fully in pink - including a shower cap…

    EDIT:

    The second person was described by the NYPD as a male with a slim build and light complexion, who was last seen wearing a blue tank top and red shorts, and carrying a black backpack.

    Wait…so, a Pokemon trainer???

    Look, I’m not saying crashing public transportation should be allowed…

    … but as the protagonists of a 1980s school comedy, I feel like this can’t end too harshly for them or else it’ll just be bleak and unwatchable.

      They get cheered by the entire school outside the police station and the principal and the police chief end up tied to each other and a pole inside a car going on a loop between The Bronx and Coney Island.

    That’s definitely a once in a lifetime experience, I can’t really knock them for the thrill of it.

    Little did these folks know Steam is doing a Planes Trains and Automobiles Sale right now to get their big vehicle driving fix.

    Funny that BBC describes the images but doesn’t bother putting them in the article. Did they receive this news via paper telegram, dictated but not read?
