    Google Maps Error Results in Deaths of Three Men in India – Ravenewsonline

    Three men have d!£d in a road accident after their car’s satellite navigation sent them off the 30ft-high edge of an unfinished bridge.

    Kaushal Kumai, Vivek Kumar, and Amit Kumar were travelling back from Gurgurgam, southwest of New Delhi, India to Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, after attending a wedding when they drove off a bridge connecting Faridpur and Dataganj over the Ramganga River at 2:30pm on Saturday, Nov. 23.

    Their bodies, trapped inside the mangled car, weren’t discovered until 9:30am the next day, local media reported.

    Investigators found that the trio had been following an out-of-date map on Google Maps at speed.

    The mapping service allegedly told them to travel down the bridge, which had no signs indicating it was out of use after it suffered a collapse in 2022 following heavy flooding.

    Unaware they weren’t meant to be driving down it, let alone at speed, the men plummeted to their d£@ths.

    The three men all worked as security guards, according to local media. Their bodies were transported by boat to the nearby city of Faridpur for a formal post-mortem examination.

    Since the tragedy, four engineers and an as-yet-unidentified Google Maps engineer were called in for questioning by local cops, the Times of India reported.
