A family is suing Google, $GOOGL, after a husband and father of two drove his Jeep over a collapsed bridge in North Carolina while allegedly following Google Maps, causing him to drive into a creek and drown, per Forbes.

The navigation system allegedly led him over a bridge that had collapsed nearly a decade before and was never repaired.

The wife said: "Our girls ask how and why their daddy died, and I’m at a loss for words they can understand because, as an adult, I still can’t understand how those responsible for the GPS directions and the bridge could have acted with so little regard for human life."

The lawsuit, which Alicia filed this week, also names local businessman James Tarlton and the companies Tarde LLC and Hinckley Gauvain LLC as defendants.

Tarlton and the companies are identified as the owners of the bridge and the land surrounding it, according to the Hickory Record.
