Long Islander, mesmerized by GPS, drives into creek

This just in from the Delaware County Sheriff's Office: A Seaford man drove into a creek in Hamden and flipped his car, after failing to stop at an intersection. Here's the press release:

On 3/19/2011 Delaware County Sheriff's Deputies investigated a one car motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Basin Clove Rd. and Terry Clove Rd. in the Town of Hamden. The driver, Robert Nelson, 51, of Seaford, was driving south on Terry Clove Rd. Nelson said that he was looking at his GPS when he didn't see the stop sign at the intersection. The vehicle slid across the intersection and into the creek on the other side of the road. The vehicle came to a rest on its roof. The driver or passenger weren't hurt in the accident. There were no tickets issued.
