A Massachusetts DoorDash driver followed his GPS navigation system into a wooded area and then into a body of water Friday morning, police say.
The unidentified Dasher was delivering a Dunkin’ order to a residential neighborhood in Middleton, Massachusetts, when they followed their GPS into a swampy area in the woods, MassLive reported Sunday. The driver called police, and cops said the Dasher came off as “panicked” when they arrived on-scene, telling officers their “vehicle was underwater,” according to a Facebook post from the Middleton Police Department. Now, the driver is facing charges.
When law enforcement showed up, the car was still running and was “partially submerged.”
Police said the driver “somehow ended up driving into a body of water.”
The DoorDash driver is facing charges from the Middleton Police Department for “negligent operation of a motor vehicle,” according to the Facebook post. The department also put in a Request for Immediate Threat License Suspension through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.
Police notified the homeowner of the property where the incident occurred, and that individual arrived on-scene shortly after the officers. The driver was taken to Beverly Hospital for treatment. Fluids from the car did not leak into the body of water, according to MassLive.
