I’m obsessed with period dramas – viewers saying Wolf Hall is ‘boring and slow’ are wrong, here’s whyThree individuals tragically lost their lives on Sunday when Google Maps directed their vehicle off an incomplete bridge , according to officials. The victims were en route from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The fatal incident took place around 10 a. m. Sunday on the Khalpur-Dataganj road, where the victims' vehicle plunged into the Ramganga River. Earlier this year, floods had caused the front part of the bridge to collapse into the river, but Google Maps had not been updated to reflect this change. Investigations revealed that the GPS had guided the vehicle towards the damaged section of the bridge, and the driver, unaware of the danger , drove onto it. Heart-stopping moment semi-truck crashes off Indiana bridge as driver's life hangs in the balance Baby girl left orphaned after entire family killed in horror crash on New Year's Eve Local Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam pointed out that the lack of safety barriers or warning signs near the under-construction bridge also contributed to the severity of the incident. The car was reportedly traveling at high speed before it plummeted into the river. Law enforcement units from the Dataganj police station in Badaun, Bareilly, and Faridpur swiftly arrived at the scene and began the grim task of retrieving the bodies and the vehicle from the water, Shivam reported.
