In a shocking incident, a car ended up hanging off the edge of an under-construction flyover in Bihar. A video of the car hanging from the edge of the bridge circulated on the internet and the video of the incident is going viral on social media. There are reports that the driver was following the directions from Google Maps and mistakenly drove onto the unfinished flyover.
There are reports that the incident occurred in Bhaiya-Farenda area of National Highway-27. Google Maps and the driver of the car was unaware that construction was still going on. Due to lack of safety measures and no clear route diversion signs, the car reached a point where the road was incomplete. When the driver realised there was no road ahead, he hit the brakes, causing the car to hang dangerously over the edge.
