Google Maps "directed man to drive off collapsed bridge"

No, it really doesn’t seem that at all. Every driver has a duty of care to operate their vehicle within the operating conditions present. If you can’t see the lack of a bridge you can’t see a pedestrian, an animal, or another broken down vehicle and shouldn’t be driving. Dark and rain aren’t reasons to lose responsibility, but reasons to exercise more care and particularly bad conditions might mean it is time to pull off and cease driving.
