Tragic case from Google map

Google maps can sometimes lead to a tragic accident like this one which made the news last year. Google Maps ended up directing two young Russians to an abandoned path, where their car eventually broke down, according to Autoevolution. There was no cellular signal and while trying to deal with the extremely cold weather, the driver eventually died, freezing to death, while the passenger was discovered by medical crews with some critical injuries.
