Tragic Accident: Google Maps Error Leads to Fatal Bridge Plunge in India
TL;DR
Three men in India died after their vehicle, guided by Google Maps, drove off an unfinished bridge in Uttar Pradesh. The bridge had collapsed earlier due to floods, but this change was not updated on the navigation app. Dense fog and lack of barricades contributed to the accident. Family members blame civic authorities for negligence and demand action to prevent future incidents.
