In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday in Wake County Superior Court, it was claimed that Philip Paxson, a medical device salesman and a father of two, tragically drowned on September 30, 2022. This unfortunate incident occurred when his Jeep Gladiator plunged into Snow Creek in Hickory. Paxson had been on his way home from his daughter’s ninth birthday celebration, navigating through an unfamiliar neighborhood. It is alleged that Google Maps directed him to cross a bridge that had collapsed nine years earlier and had never been repaired.
