You ever see that episode of The Office (US) where Michael drives into a lake because his GPS told him to? It sounds pretty ridiculous, but I have no doubt there’s people who put too much faith in their maps
From the article, it sounds like it was too dark to see the bridge was out, but then again you shouldn’t be driving where you can’t see either
On Lake Livingston in Texas when I was a kid there was one of the roads that went through the valley before it was a lake and was still there. Jsut went straight into the lake. Centerline was still painted on it. It was being used as a boat rampbut I was always surprised I never heard about anyone driving straight into the lake there. At theat time the GPS did show it still as a road straight through the lake which is weird because the lake was made well before GPS existed.
Looks like now they added some artificial land and made a proper boat ramp. I think it was old 190, apparently if you have sonar you can follow the road to the old path of the river and find the old truss bridge still under there.
