I fell in a manhole. VS. I fell into a manhole.

I fell in a manhole. VS. I fell into a manhole.

I saw the first sentence, but I think the second is better. What do you native English speakers think? Is there a meaning difference between them or they are interchangeable? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

Both are correct, but I too prefer the second. The first, albeit unlikely, could suggest that you were already in the manhole when you fell.
