I feel bad for these folks but seriously .... keeping your eyes on the road is your responsibly , not googles. If the bridge was out of commission then maybe go after the public works dept of the place the bridge is but google is a reach.

[nh1]

I agree, but google has more money.

When I was a kid, when a bridge was out, there were barricades and signs. The morons these days believe everyone has a cellphone so they know everything there is to know.

[Safrguns]

Who ya gonna believe???... Google? or these lyin road signs???

[Chickensoup]

Leftists have removed road signs route number signs and most all other sinage in some states.

Per order Obama administration.

As a friend said. That is what countries do when they are preparing for war

[mewzilla]

I hope the cops have ruled out homicide.

Who is responsible for marking the bridge with signs? That’s who should be sued.

[texas booster]

Years ago, we had two people drive their trucks into a river when the bridge collapsed.

The police had barricades up once the call came in.

This happened in the middle of the night during a tremendous downpour, and the two deceased couldn’t see that the bridge had collapsed.

No idea why there were no signs to stop drivers, or what the circumstances of the accident are.

But I suspect that a young lawyer thought of a way to collect $$ from the widows’ tragedy and make a name for himself.

They should have sued the DOT of that state, but I suspect there is a basic immunity from lawsuit in that state.

So, sue Goog and hope that they pay out rather than fight it in the press.

He obviously didn’t see the little man figure on his phone waving flags as he approached the bridge. I’m thinking the county or state for not having barricades on the bridge approaches is most culpable, but even if it’s night and raining, your supposed to slow down and look ahead so as to not overdrive your ability to react.

[I want the USA back]

The driver is responsible for where he drives the car. GPS doesn’t drive the car. A human does. This is just part of the move to eliminate human responsibility for one’s actions, and to pick up a few undeserved million.

“Recalculating.....Recalculating.....Recalculating.....Recalculating.....”

[MeganC]

News reports say the bridge has been out since 2013 and the county refused to barricade it or even post “Road Closed” signs. The county also refused to notify Google and other map services of the bridge being out.

[Round Earther]

The lawsuit is a bridge too far.

Recalculating.....

Send her a short explanation of Darwinism. He husband was too stupid to survive. She apparently is too.

[Bounced2X]

Can't rely on GPS especially in a very rual area. Example:
We had 2 vehicles going to a well know shooting range in a state park well away from most civilization. As an experiment we used a GPS device, from 2 different manufactures, one in each vehicle. Both directed us to the exact same place. Down a seldom used road straight to a dead end at the woods on the opposite side of the park entrance to the range. Wasn't even close. After that anyone I knew that wanted to go there without someone who knew how I told do not use GPS. I'd give them verbal directions.

Seems to have been a privately owned ridge.

If You read the article it was 11pm on a dark rainy night.

[Nifster]

One still has to look at the road in front of you

[Persevero]

I am on wife’s side.

State should have barricaded the bridge. A known thoroughfare if hazardous needs to be blocked. Sue the state too.
