Undependable Directions
Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 16, 2021 (message contributor)
Three young women escaped the sinking Mercedes-Benz SUV after the vehicle's GPS directed them down a boat launch and into the Mercer Slough in Bellevue, Washington.
The driver thought she was on a road while following her GPS unit just after midnight, but she was actually heading down the boat launch. The road was dark and the driver crashed the SUV into the water in Mercer Slough Nature Park. One of the women immediately jumped to safety.
The other two women tried to stay with the SUV as long as they could by standing on the side door frames, but they finally had to wade to safety when the vehicle kept drifting out farther into the slough.
All three women made it out safely, but the SUV was completely under water. They were in town for a conference and were trying to get to a hotel in Bellevue. oddee.com
