Widow of driver who followed GPS to his death sues Google, bridge owner
Fox News
Philip Paxson was driving his Jeep on Sept. 30, 2022, after his daughter's birthday party when Google Maps allegedly led him to a collapsed North Carolina bridge, killing him.
"It's been almost a year since Phil's death, and it still doesn't seem real," Phil Paxson’s wife, Alicia Paxson, said during a Wednesday press conference. "I just struggle every day to understand how something so unimaginable and horrific could be allowed to happen. I still don't have the answer. To tell my daughters I don't have the answers to the question: ‘Why is daddy gone and why isn't he coming back?’ I don't know how to explain this life-shattering tragedy that could have been so easily prevented."

Alicia added that it is "impossible to comprehend how those responsible for Google Maps GPS misdirection and the neglected, unbarricaded, collapsed bridge could have just such disregard and negligence for human life."
