Was there no barricade or anything in front of the bridge? If yes, why did he drive through/around them without thinking? If no, then why weren't there any? Sue the gubment instead. Navigation systems have been a thing for decades now, and everyone knows they don't know everything and are sometimes outdated.

OP linked a worthless article, clicking through to the NY Times:

>Alicia Paxson, his wife, also sued two businesses and an individual who the lawsuit says owned, controlled or were responsible for the collapsed bridge, which was unmarked, with no barricades.

>Google Maps has for years directed drivers to cross the bridge, which collapsed in 2013, according to the lawsuit. In November 2020, Google Maps acknowledged receipt of a complaint that a Hickory resident had submitted about the dangerous route recommendation, but it continued to suggest the route, according to the lawsuit.

>“This was a crater literally in the middle of a residential neighborhood,” Robert Zimmerman, a lawyer for Mrs. Paxson, said. “It'd be one thing if it was there for a day or a week, but it was there for nine years.”
