The occupants of a luxury car were in for a shock on Sunday as a misreading of the navigation app they were relying on left them stuck on a flight of stairs along a bridle path used by pedestrians to get across Gudalur town.
The police said that the occupants of the car were returning home from the Nilgiris when they got stuck in traffic. While trying to find alternative routes to their destination, they were said to have worked out a shortcut which, they believed, would be navigable.
