On April 5, 2025 an unusual and dangerous accident in Indonesia has left many shocked after a 61-year-old man and his co-pilot fell 12 metres off a bridge after following Google Maps directions exactly.
The incident occurred while the driver was heading to a friend’s house, completely trusting the route suggested by the Maps app. According to CNN, the app suddenly changed direction mid-trip, taking them straight to an unfinished bridge.
Unaware of the danger, the driver continued moving forward and the result was a fall onto a busy road.

Fortunately, the car landed in a clear area, avoiding a major tragedy. Despite the 12-metre fall and the total destruction of the car, both the driver and his 46-year-old passenger suffered only minor injuries.

Looks like Google maps timed his landing at a perfect time as well…
No other cars were harmed….

I once bought a car in Georgia and drove it back to Texas. I had never driven through Tennessee at the time. Pre-Google printed off Mapquest. Can’t remember which one but took me down a highway that just ended. I guess I’m glad it was not on a bridge

Google owns the Waze app and has been integrating them for awhile now.

Clearly didn’t study “jumping the gap”
Keanu did it with a 12 ton bus over a 50 foot gap.
Study up on them physics son

No barricades to let someone know it's incomplete, or was he simply staring at his phone and drove through them?

So Google Maps is still a very safe app to rely on.
Sincerely,

I like how Keanu grabs her, which would force her to turn the wheel to certain death, not to mention no ramp before there was one.

I’ve done that in GTA thousands of times.

Looks like Google maps just provided an alternate route with less traffic.
That's crazy. Glad they ok, but I couldn't help but laugh.
