The family of a North Carolina father who died when his GPS map directions drove him off a "bridge to nowhere" filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging negligence for the closed road.

It's been almost a year since beloved father Phil Paxson drove off a collapsed bridge in Catawba County and died. The collapsed bridge is located on a private road and has been a concern for neighbors in the area since 2013. But it wasn't until 2022 that the so-called "bridge to nowhere" led to tragedy for Paxson's family.

On Wednesday, Phil's wife Alicia Paxson, represented by Saltz, Mongeluzzi and Bendesky, announced a lawsuit in his death against Google. It was filed in Wake County, where the tech giant maintains a registered office. They claim directions provided by the Google Maps application ultimately led to Phil Paxson's death.

“I just struggle every day to understand how something so unimaginable and horrific could be allowed to happen,” Alicia Paxson said.

On Sept. 30, 2022, Phil Paxson was with his family at a friend’s home celebrating his daughter’s birthday. At the end of the night, his wife took one car with the kids back home and he stayed behind to help clean up.

Shortly before leaving, Alicia said Phil added the directions to his home to Google Maps. Those directions reportedly took him to the collapsed bridge over Snow Creek northeast of Hickory, which his wifes' attorneys say didn't show up on the map.
