Navi Mumbai: In a bizarre incident, a woman in Navi Mumbai drove her car straight into a creek around 1 am on Friday night, reportedly after following incorrect directions on Google Maps. The woman was travelling from Belapur to Ulwe when the navigation app guided her along a path beneath a bridge, instead of taking her onto the bridge itself.
Trusting the directions, the woman continued driving until her car plunged into the creek. Fortunately, the incident was noticed by personnel from the Marine Security Force, who were nearby. They rushed to the scene and found the woman floating in the water.
