Salt Lake City: A pedestrian injured by a motorist while following an online route has filed a lawsuit claiming Google Inc. supplied unsafe directions.
Rosenberg used her phone in January to download directions from one end of Park City to the other. Google Maps led her to a four-lane boulevard without sidewalks that was "not reasonably safe for pedestrians," according to the lawsuit filed by the Northridge, California, resident.
Rosenberg believed she could reach a sidewalk on the other side of Deer Valley Drive and tried to cross the boulevard, but didn't even make it to the median, he said.
She was struck by a speeding car on a pitch-black night and received multiple bone fractures that required six weeks of rehabilitation, Young added.

Google SUGGESTED she take this route...they did not DEMAND that she take the route. If Google supplied directions that necessitated climbing a rock-face, would she have still taken THAT suggested route??? some people are so money hungry, they will do anything, even sue when it is not warrented.
I trust google, but did she get a second opinion before taking the SUGGESTED route, as i said it was "SUGGESTED" not enforced.
Right, she should have noticed that route was not for her. She shouldn't blame Google for that.
Whatever happened to personal responsibility. Sounds like she was
too dumb to be on a computer anyway
