Three Killed After GPS Directs Car Off Collapsed Bridge in Uttar Pradesh

Victims drove off an unfinished bridge into the Ramganga River due to outdated GPS data and lack of safety measures.

Three men, including two brothers, died when their car fell from an incomplete bridge in Uttar Pradesh while following GPS directions.
The bridge, damaged by floods in 2023, lacked safety barriers or warning signs to alert drivers of its condition.
The victims' families have criticized both local authorities and Google Maps, calling for accountability and investigations into the negligence.
Police have filed charges against four public works engineers and an unnamed Google Maps official for their roles in the tragedy.
Google has expressed condolences and is cooperating with authorities to support the investigation.
