Three Killed as Google Maps Misleads Motorists onto Incomplete Bridge
Three persons lost their life in a terrible accident late last night when their car crashed into a river from a bridge that was still being built. The driver followed directions that displayed the road as complete while using Google Maps for navigation, which led to the mishap.
