A man has driven down the steps of a Paris metro station after believing it was the entrance to an underground car park.
“There’s a sign saying ‘Haussmann Parking’ right in front… I made a mistake,” the driver – a man named Johan, told the AFP.
No-one was hurt in the incident and the 26-year-old braked in time to stop his car travelling further down into the Chaussee d’Antin-La Fayette metro station.
The driver reportedly passed an alcohol test and his car wasn’t damaged.
An employee of a nearby restaurant said a similar incident took place at the site four or five years ago.
