A family of five, including women and children, was rescued after their car got stuck in a deep drain in Uttar Pradesh's Hapur district while following Google Maps directions.
The incident occurred on Sunday when Sahil, a resident of Greater Noida's Dadri area, was travelling with his family to a relative's house in Meerut district.
After taking an alternative route suggested by Google Maps, the family's car slipped into a deep roadside drain in the Anand Vihar Yojana area, leaving all occupants stranded inside.
Rescue operation lasted for 2 hours after police received an alert through Dial 112 and sought assistance from the fire department.
Firefighters safely evacuated all occupants through the vehicle's windows and other access points.
