SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A Sacramento man was badly injured after he surfaced from a city storm drain and was struck by a car.

Sacramento police said the 26-year-old man, his 19-year-old girlfriend and his 24-year-old brother had been drinking early Tuesday and decided to climb into the underground tunnels.

Lt. Mike Bray said the brothers apparently had explored the storm drains as youngsters and wanted to relive the experience.

The three walked about 200 yards in the drain and then tried to surface. When the older brother was lifting a manhole cover in the middle of a street, his head was struck by a passing car.

He suffered a skull fracture and was taken to the University of California, Davis Medical Center, where he was in critical condition.

The motorist, who got a flat tire, called police. The younger brother and girlfriend were arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public.
