An ELDERLY British couple is recovering today after a faulty GPS system led them to crash into a 19th-century German church, causing $37,000 worth of damage.
The couple, who cannot be named under German data protection laws, were traveling Friday from Austria to France guided by their GPS system. The 76-year-old husband, who was driving, followed instructions to "turn right" but ended up hitting the chapel near Freundpolz, Bavaria.
The man and his 78-year-old wife were taken to the hospital suffering from shock and bruises, before returning by train to Britain.
....
Karl-Heinz Krueger, a passing motorist, told a local radio station, "The old man was more confused than the woman. He kept saying, It's the machine - it told me to turn this way, but I suddenly ran out of road."
This story is NOT funny. Do NOT laugh.
I confess I laughed, but it's not my fault. It's Andrew Gern's fault for posting the link at The Lead.
I pray for quick healing for the couple's shock and bruises.
