Early morning fatal loss of control into a tree is a recurring Tesla theme.
Two people were killed and two others were injured after a speeding Tesla crashed into a tree and caught fire, igniting a nearby home in Petersburg early Saturday morning, according to authorities.
Colonial Heights Police said an officer clocked the Tesla at speeds over 70 mph in a 30 mph zone on the Boulevard around 1:20 a.m.
A witness perhaps put it best.
So I came out of my house and saw… the car was lodged in between the tree and my house. And then a few minutes later, the car burst into flames. And it was a Tesla, so it’s extra dangerous.
Extra dangerous. She’s seen a lot of crashes, apparently, and knows the difference.
Exactly what happened to the Tesla Cybertruck in the Piedmont Cybertruck crash that took place nearly a year ago the day before Thanksgiving 2024:
“…the car was lodged in between the tree and my house. And then a few minutes later, the car burst into flames. And it was a Tesla, so it’s extra dangerous.”
Actually the Piedmont cybertruck burst into flames upon impact, and the crash took place after having traveled just one mile, mostly winding narrow downhill street in a hilly residential neighborhood.
Only one passenger, Jordan Miller, could be pulled from the burning, leaving one screaming passenger (two others were not conscious) trapped due to the 3,000 F degree fire from the lithium batteries.
