The car climbed onto the damaged bridge and crashed into the river flowing below. For most of those who travel by road, using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to reach their destinations safely is an obvious choice. However, for three – including two brothers – in Uttar Pradesh, it led them to a tragic end. The car, being navigated using GPS, climbed onto a damaged bridge and plunged into the river flowing 50 feet below in Faridpur when it was travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district this morning. The damaged Wagon R was taken out of the Ramganga river when the villagers spotted it. All three in it – including two brothers – were dead by then.
