Photos: Google Street View car takes on low bridge, loses

There are any number of amusements to be found on Google Maps, candid images of the world captured by Google's car-mounted cameras, but we couldn't resist passing this one along.

It looks as if Merchant Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a lousy spot to have a camera mounted on a stalk on the roof of your car.

Open the link above and click the forward arrows. You can watch as the car heads toward the low bridge, then see the view go askew, and then see it corrected again, apparently because the camera was remounted.

Or you can watch the drama unfold in our photo gallery.

Google Sightseeing, which collects entertaining Street View moments, also found this case of a Street View car getting stuck in the mud in Australia.
