By one bridge 12 -meter height made a “free” driver with his car in Indonesiaafter being confused with Google’s maps that led him to the… vacuum.
61 -year -old Rudie Heru Komandono, on Tuesday (09.04.2025), fell from the large hill of the bridge in East Java, Indonesia, where he faithfully followed the instructions of the Google map, destined for the home of a friend.
He had placed his cellphone on his BMW dashboard and while the application had mapped the new road, rebuilt him away from the unfinished motorway, causing the driver to be confused by the change of direction and found on the bridge.
Instead of the 61 -year -old taking the siding, he crossed a vacuum in a concrete barrier and moved forward.
Video shows the moment the luxurious car was tossed from the unfinished airplane and fell on the road. For the good of the driver, BMW landed with the bumper as two cars and a motorcycle had just been removed.
Rudie later claimed that “he was not blaming him, since he was trying to follow the GPS instructions” on his phone.
The rescuers later arrived at the spot and treated Rudie and his 47 -year -old passenger, Endang Sri Wahyuni, who brought almond injuries.
Rudie said: “The road suddenly became dark and there were no other cars. Then I realized that there was a problem when the car began to fall and crashed to the ground.
My girlfriend said she’s going to get in the car again with me. But I was not myself. I was trying to follow the GPS on my phone, but it was confused. I’m worried about the car, I don’t think it can be repaired. “
One inspector of the authorities said of the incident: “The driver of the car was very focused on looking at Google Maps maps. He did not realize that he had passed the bar that prevented access to the unfinished toll road.
“The driver and co -driver were hospitalized by a doctor in the hospital and had no serious injuries. They allowed them to return home, “he added.
Police said they had been closing the gap from which the car had passed since then. They will also place warning signs to prevent other drivers from making the same mistake.
