Three people tragically lost their lives in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district when their car, relying on Google Maps for navigation, was directed onto an unfinished flyover.

The vehicle plunged into a river, leading to the fatal incident, India Today reported.

The victims, identified as Vivek and Amit among them, were traveling from Gurugram to Bareilly to attend a wedding when the GPS directed them onto the under-construction bridge.
