Three individuals lost their lives in a tragic accident in India when their car veered off a partially collapsed bridge and plunged into a river. The incident occurred in the Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh, after the driver was allegedly misdirected by the GPS navigation system.

The victims, identified as brothers Amit Kumar and Vivek Kumar, and their friend Ajit Kumar, were traveling from Bareilly to Dataganj when their car met its unfortunate fate. The GPS system, which had not been updated to reflect the bridge's damaged condition from floods the previous year, displayed the route as operational.

Tragically, the bridge had suffered damage during the floods, with a portion collapsing into the river. However, neither was the route closed nor were any warning signs installed, leading to the fatal accident. The driver, unaware of the danger due to the outdated GPS information, drove off the damaged section, resulting in the car plunging into the river.

Police teams rushed to the scene and recovered the car and the victims' bodies. The deceased were sent for post-mortem examinations, and authorities are conducting further investigations into the incident. This tragedy highlights the importance of keeping navigation systems updated and the need for proper safety measures on bridges, especially those that have suffered damage.
