Google Maps error allegedly leads to demolition of wrong house

According to WFAA-TV reports, the company was sent to demolish 7601 and 7603 Cousteau Drive, a tornado damaged duplex in Rowlett, Texas. Somehow, 7601 and 7603 Calypso Drive, another tornado damaged duplex
a block away, was torn down.

The owner of one of the duplex Lindsay Diaz, told WFAA that she drove up to the property, only to discover it was gone.

"How do you make a mistake like this?" Diaz asked WFAA. One answer seems to be: by trusting Google Maps a little too much.

Diaz told WFAA that a Nabors employee texted her a screenshot from Google Maps. It allegedly showed directions for Cousteau Drive that led to her house.
Google confirmed it has corrected this error.
