First of all, why is this bridge even standing?
Secondly, nobody in their right mind would drive ahead under those conditions. GPS plots a good path for you and in most cases is fine. I’ve used google maps on my phone to travel to all sorts of bizarre places, both in the US and abroad. (Built in automobile GPS systems are often less reliable.) However, anything can be wrong, and you have to keep your wits about you.
A family member recently got a new car with all sorts of lane control, de-acceleration, etc. features...and a little prompt appears at the start telling you that the driver is still responsible for controlling the car! I thought it was funny, but maybe not.
Prayers for this unfortunate couple. They should have been more vigilant, but also the city should not have left that bridge up in such a condition. I sense a (justifiable) lawsuit comng.
even though he drove around the barricades and ignored the signs?
