A semi-truck driver got stranded this week on a North Carolina beach after his GPS took him off-roading onto the sand.
According to News Channel 13, “The driver said he was supposed to be on Route 12 South, but ended up on Route 12 North. He was looking for a place to turn around when he reached the end of the road.”
