I hope this guy gets fired for incompetence. Most GPS units have an option to only follow routes safe for trucks. It was his own damn fault. Also, in response to the jab at American common sense, I see way more of these type of incidents with European drivers.
Like my high school teacher always said when working with calculators "the machine is only as smart as the person using it" and that goes double for GPS units.
