TIMES SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) -- There was quite an unusual sight in Times Square on Thursday night, caused by a bizarre accident.

An SUV taxi somehow got stuck over a Con Edison structure just after 7 p.m. along West 42nd Street and Broadway.

Police were informed that a taxi driver drove over a metal grate with a manhole underneath, and got wedged on a piece of metal.

One of the back tires was almost completely in the hole.

Officials say debris struck the vehicle and caused a spark.

FDNY, Con Edison, and NYPD are on the scene investigating the incident and determined that this was not an explosion.

Con Edison said they are awaiting a tow truck to remove the cab stuck on one of their structures.

There were no reported injuries, and no customer outages.
