Summary
A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.
Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.
The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
Reminder that a seatbelt cutter and glass breaker is a good investment, especially in cars like this.
A car like this isn’t a safe choice to begin with so step one is don’t get into one of these.
Yes, I have one of those 2-in-1 belt cutter and window hammers.
