MILWAUKEE (AP) — A man who drove his semi onto a walkway at a Milwaukee park and got stuck on a foot bridge blames his GPS device for the mishap. The 50-year-old semi driver has been cited for reckless driving and failing to obey road signs, which carry nearly $580 in fines. Milwaukee County sheriff’s officials say the New Whiteland, Indiana man drove the semi-tractor and 53-foot trailer onto a walkway at Lake Park Tuesday afternoon and damaged several trees and concrete railings on two pedestrian bridges. The truck got hung up on a peninsula behind the North Point Lighthouse along Milwaukee’s lakeshore. Crews were still attempting to remove it Wednesday.
