If You read the article it was 11pm on a dark rainy night.
Sounds like private ownership, but why wouldn't they block it off, or why wouldn't the county, if the road was publicly used? They are courting liability.
Nicely done
One still has to look at the road in front of you
Most excellent
.
May I dare to ask - HOW can you look at the road in front of you
if the road is not there to look at? Eh?

I am on wife’s side.
State should have barricaded the bridge. A known thoroughfare if hazardous needs to be blocked. Sue the state too.
I think bing A.I. or even just “GPS” dependent is creating more mental defectives.
Yes they have
That was programmed by a gun hater.
I had an acquaintance at Google who helped me maintain anonymity for a few years and that is exactly how he programmed my false directions
Who is responsible for marking the bridge with signs? That’s who should be sued.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Probably the state but states have limits, by statute, on their liabilities. The sky is the limit for Google.
“Leftists have removed road signs route number signs and most all other sinage in some states.”

No they haven’t

Oh yeah? Well, both your mamas wear combat boots!
“Oh yeah? Well, both your mamas wear combat boots!”
Not any more, the leftists stole them.
According to the article linked above, the suit is against the owner(s) of the bridge as well as Google.
Again according to the article, the owners have done nothing to either repair the bridge nor to warn people before they reach the bridge, which fell in 2013, nine years before this incident.
And, the article says, Google has been notified numerous times that this bridge is out and never changed its routing.
So you are driving along on an extremely dark road (those rural roads can be black as pitch!); it is pouring down rain so you are traveling slowly, and you look ahead and see, or rather, don’t see any more orad ahead of you.
So you slam on the brakes and... slide right into the river and drown.
Why are you so intent on blaming this poor driver? There is a reason we mark places like that and it is because it would be impossible to function if we all had to crawl along on every dark and stormy night.
The owners should be sued— nine years they did nothing!
And Google was notified a number of times. They have aerial photos of everywhere: sometime during the course of 9 years’ worth of notifications they could have checked this out and changed their routing.
We are not perfect John Galts: we are real live people.
The second most dangerous weapon? A 2nd Lieutenant with GPS .
I choose not to drive in that weather
