Truck Rams House in Odisha After GPS Error
A truck was going from Cuttack to Dhamra Port in Odisha, India.
It was very foggy, and the driver couldn't see well.
He was using Google Maps to find his way.
The maps told him to go down a small road in a village.
The road was too narrow for the big truck.
The driver tried to turn around but hit a house.
The house got a little damaged, but no one was hurt.
The police are looking into what happened.
A truck traveling from Cuttack to Dhamra Port veered off the main road and rammed into a house in Odisha's Bhadrak district.
The incident occurred due to dense fog reducing visibility, causing the driver to rely solely on Google Maps.
The truck entered a narrow village lane and hit an asbestos-roofed house belonging to Ramesh Das.
No injuries were reported as the family managed to move out of the house in time.
Police are investigating the incident, and the truck has been taken to the police station for further inquiry.
