This woman followed her car's GPS straight into a lake

Unlucky.

YOUR CAR’S GPS system may be a computer, but it’s not perfect. It can make mistakes too, y’know.

An unlucky woman from Ontario, Canada learned this the hard way last Thursday night.

According to the Canadian Press, the woman had been driving through a nighttime fog, and mistakenly assumed her GPS would see her right.

That was not the case, however – and she ended up driving down a boat launch and into a lake.

A police officer who attended the scene said that thankfully, the woman had plenty of time to grab her handbag and climb out the window before the car sank.

The car has since been recovered, and police say the woman is mortified but otherwise uninjured:

She’s in really good spirits. Of course a little embarrassed, but taking it all in stride.

No need. Sure couldn’t it happen to any of us?
