EASTON, Pa. -- Police said a driver's global-positioning system device caused him to drive into the Lehigh River in Easton shortly after 10:30 p.m. Saturday. They said the man's GPS led him to drive along a bicycle path in a park. Police said the man was unable to stay on the bike path because it narrowed, and his car rolled off the path sideways into the river. Police said the driver wasn't hurt, but he was issued several traffic citations.
