(WBZ)BOSTON It was apparently a wrong turn that led a 25-year-old driver to enter a restricted area meant only for Silver Line buses in South Boston Thursday night. He turned himself in after seeing his car on TV on Friday.
According to police, Christopher Gwozdz of Newton Highlands smashed part of a security system in a south Boston tunnel. The entire incident was captured on the MBTA's surveillance cameras. Gwozdz smashed into the gate, not once but twice.
The tunnel is closed to regular traffic because there are high voltage live wires overhead. If they were to come into contact with motor vehicle gasoline it could be a fire hazard or even an explosive situation.
"Danger", "do not enter", "live wires", "$50.00 fine." You'd think these signs would have been enough to stop anyone but not the SUV caught on surveillance tape busting through the Silver Line gate that normally lifts to let a bus through.
Sensors along the route detected it was not a bus.
"It's an area where gasoline engines are not allowed," said Det. Lt. Louis Best.
The sensors triggered a steel barrier to pop out of the road.
