A driver in Massachusetts is now the proprietor of a soggy Toyota as they drove their car right into a physique of water whereas allegedly following GPS instructions.

Within the newest case of ‘GPS made me do it,’ the Middleton Police Division stated they obtained a name from a DoorDash supply driver who stated they have been within the strategy of delivering a Dunkin Donuts order. They have been reportedly being aided by a navigation system, which instructed them to drive down a mud street. The driving force then “in some way ended up driving right into a physique of water.”

In fact, that “in some way” is probably going not listening to their environment. Regardless, the driving force was in a position to exit the car, stroll out of the woods, and go to a close-by home.

When police arrived, the driving force – who reportedly had the Dunkin Donuts order in hand – was “panicked” and “claiming that their car was underwater.” Officers and fireplace fighters started trying to find the car and finally discovered it on a “dust path,” working and partially submerged.

The driving force was ultimately transported to a neighborhood hospital and the car was towed from the scene, which apparently turned out to be a pond in somebody’s yard as authorities stated “the house owner was notified and arrived on scene just a few moments later.”

Police stated the driving force might be charged with negligent operation of a motorized vehicle and {that a} “Request for Speedy Menace License Suspension” was filed with the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Automobiles. The latter looks like an excessive response because it’s for drivers who’ve dedicated a violation so excessive authorities “imagine that his/her continued operation might be so significantly improper as to represent him/her a right away risk to the general public security.”

Authorities didn’t say why they pushed for the license suspension, but it surely feels like ‘unhealthy instructions’ may not have been the one factor at play.
