An 80-year-old German motorist obediently following his navigation system ignored a motorway ”closed for construction” sign and crashed his Mercedes into a pile of sand further down the road, police said on Monday.
”The driver was following the orders from his navigation system and even though there was a sufficient number of warnings and barricades, he continued his journey into the construction site,” a police spokesperson told Reuters.
”His trip finally ended when he wound up crashing into a pile of sand,” she added.
The driver and his wife escaped uninjured from the collision, which occurred on a motorway near Hamburg. – Reuters
