Man guided by GPS drives off ferry into harbour in Alaska

WHITTIER, ALASKA—Taking bad advice from the GPS unit in his car, a man drove into Whittier’s small-boat harbour Thursday morning just after departing a ferry nearby.


The man, who was not named, was apparently relocating to Alaska from the Lower 48 and arrived on a ferry about 6:30 a.m., said Dave Schofield, director of the city’s Department of Public Safety. The man drove off the ferry in his Subaru car loaded with belongings, two dogs and a cat, Schofield said.


He didn’t make it far.


About 215 metres from the ferry dock, a GPS unit in the man’s car told him to take a hard right turn, Schofield said.


“The GPS apparently misrouted him, and he drove down the ramp for launching boats into the water,” Schofield said. “He was unfamiliar with the area is the only answer I have for you.”


.....

I am sure there will be a law suit about this. It is not this guy's fault, the GPS told him to drive into the water.


He is a victim too.
