A male 40-year-old, suspected of being drunk, drove his SUV into the a Muni
Metro tunnel at Church Street and Duboce Avenue at around 6:00 AM today,
grinding Metro service to a halt for over 2 hours during this morning's rush
hour.

similar (driving an SUV on the train tracks). In his case, he had lost his
youngest child recently in a semi-vs-auto collision (icy roads in the midwest).
Not an excuse, but a rationale.

Happens quite regularly on first street.

But I imagine this is very different from driving into the Muni's Duboce
tunnel. First, there's no road there. Second, you have to drive many feet
to get to the tunnel entrance.

=v= The intersection of Church and Duboce has four NO TURN
signs, and a freeway-sized (i.e. gigantic) DO NOT ENTER sign
made of very bright LEDs. The pavement changes as well, you
know, into tracks. Even so, someone attempts to drive a car
into it about once a week.
=v= What makes this one newsworthy is that the driver actually
managed to get as far as the Van Ness station before trying
(and, of course, failing) to drive up the stairs onto the
platform. Wouldn't that make a dandy ad for his SUV?
