A DRIVER has shown too much faith in his satellite navigation system and driven his van straight into a lake.
Police in Glubczyce, Poland received an emergency call from the driver saying he and his two passengers were drowing, Metro.co.uk reports.
The trio climbed on to the roof of the van and were rescued by emergency services. They were taken to hospital and treated for shock.
"There used to be a road there until last year until the local water company flooded the valley to build a new reservoir lake," a police source said according to annanova.com
"It seems that the GPS hadn't been updated and was still showing a usable road running through where the lake now is. It's a huge lake and it's hard to imagine how
you could ignore or not see it, but he certainly managed it.
"The driver had such faith in his sat-nav that he didn't even notice all the traffic signs saying the road had been closed," they added.
