Wrong turn? Amazon delivery driver lands in water in UK after following GPS directions; rescued

An Amazon delivery driver encountered a perilous situation in the UK after their GPS mistakenly directed them onto the Broomway, a treacherous tidal route near the coast. Known for its dangerous conditions, the Broomway is notorious for being submerged during high tides, and local authorities have long warned against driving on this path. The driver had to abandon their vehicle as the rising waters threatened to engulf it. Fortunately, emergency services were alerted and successfully rescued the driver, who fortunately suffered no injuries. This incident highlights the potential dangers of relying solely on GPS technology for navigation, especially in unfamiliar or hazardous areas. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of heeding local warnings and advice when it comes to safety in potentially perilous environments.
