2 Men, Relying On Google Maps, Drive Vehicle Into River In Kerala; Rescued

The rescued men said they were on their way to a hospital in neighbouring Karnataka in the early hours the other day and were proceeding using Google Maps.

Two men, who were on their way to a hospital using Google Maps to find their way, drove their car into a swollen river but had a miraculous escape as the vehicle got stuck to a tree in Kerala's northernmost Kasaragod district.

The visuals of Fire Force personnel pulling them to safety from the overflowing river in Pallanchi here the other day went viral on social media platforms on Sunday.

They could escape and contact the Fire Force personnel only because their vehicle, which was carried away by the water currents, got stuck in a tree.
