Nearly 100 Drivers Following Google Maps Detour Get Stuck in Muddy Field Near Denver Airport A crash on Pea Boulevard, a road leading to Denver International Airport, prompted the app to take drivers on a detour on Sunday. The alternate route took drivers down a dirt road that rain had turned into a muddy mess, and cars started sliding around. Some vehicles couldnt make it through the mud, and about 100 others became trapped behind them. I thought maybe theres a detour and pulled it up on Google Maps, and it gave me a a detour that was half the time, she said. It was 43 minutes initially, and it was going to be 23 instead so I took the exit and drove where they told me to. There were a bunch of other cars going down [the dirt road] too, so I said, I guess its OK. It was not OK. --- Horses?! We can't afford t'lose no horses! ... Copied to Clipboard!

You know... At some point you gotta not be that reliant on mapping applications. I love Google Maps, but you had to have seen the other vehicles struggling through the mud ahead of you at some point. It's OK to question the Google overlords.
