Google, Apple and TomTom make sat-nav changes after Milton Keynes crash

In November 2023, Ms Ahmed was “following audio directions” when she drove down the slip road near the Little Brickhill junction.

In a Prevention of Future Deaths report for Ms Ahmed, the coroner noted police attending the crash saw three other vehicles “perform exactly the same manoeuvre as Ms Ahmed and attempt to travel down the slip road in the wrong direction”.

National Highways has since erected signs to prevent motorists from accessing the slip road.

Responding to the report, a spokesperson from Apple , externalsaid the company would add special voice guidance for drivers heading past the A5 offramp toward the A5 onramp.

They said: “We trust that the steps we are taking will be helpful to try to avoid any future such tragic events.”

Motorists will be instructed to “continue straight at the overpass” as they travel west. While on the overpass, drivers will be instructed to “turn right onto A5 toward Milton Keynes, Bletchley”.
