Driver Frozen to Death in -50C Weather After Taking Shorter Google Maps Route

Driver Frozen to Death in -50C Weather After Taking Shorter Google Maps Route 12 Dec 2020, 12:37 UTC · by 1 photo A recent example in this regard is the case of 18-year-old friends Sergey Ustinov and Vladislav Istomin, who were both traveling in a passenger car on Russia’s Kolyma Highway, also known as the Road of Bones. With a length of 2,031 km (1,262 mi), the highway was built during the Soviet Union’s Stalinist era, and it’s believed over 250,000 people died during the construction phase. A report citing local media indicates the driver followed a shorter route suggested by Google Maps, only to be sent to a snow-covered road that was abandoned during the 1970s. A wooden spike damaged the radiator of their Toyota Chaser, with the two eventually becoming stranded in an area with no cellular signal, thus not being able to call for help.
