The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Specialist Unit responded to the scene just before 1 a.m. on May 11 near the intersection of Heardsville Road and Frix Road. Investigators say a 2022 Tesla Model 3, driven by Ashton Dickerson, failed to navigate a curve near 6564 Heardsville Road.
The vehicle left the roadway, struck a medium-sized tree, and eventually came to rest in a nearby cow pasture. Dickerson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Four young kids at the International College of Santiago in Tavira, Portugal were killed when their Tesla suddenly veered off the road into a tree and then flipped upside down into a river.
Notably, investigators say it was on a turn and yet there were no skid marks, as would be expected from normal braking. The car was in very shallow water but all the doors were still locked.
According to this interview, when asked to describe his immediate reaction to learning of the Cybertruck crash, the victim’s father said he was confused due to Tesla app failure:
Usually I wake up at 4:30 and I go through the Tesla app to see if he’s heading home or at the gym. His car is at the gym, so I continue my workout and my daughter said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m working out.’ She said, ‘You haven’t heard? Your son just got in an accident.’ ‘At the gym?’ ‘No he’s at the hospital.’
I just stopped everything and ran over there and was like, ‘What the hell’s going on? Was it his car? What’s going on?’ I realized the app actually malfunctioned. I found that out a couple days later when he started waking up.
His son was released from the hospital last week, after being placed in a coma due to smoke inhaled while trapped inside the Cybertruck for at least 10 minutes.
This one guy just keeps getting sent out into the public to cause predictable harms. He seems to be slipping through a justice system, enabling his crimes, despite a long history of him repeating the same exact patterns of drug-addled violence targeting women across America.
In 2023, a Southern California man pleaded guilty to multiple charges stemming from road rage incidents in the Los Angeles area. He was sentenced to five years in prison — but was released 212 days early for good behavior last fall.
On Thursday, he was arrested on suspicion of committing similar crimes.
According to the Honolulu Police Department, a 38-year-old man was arrested in Hawaii on suspicion of unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle in the first degree and assault.
Whoever describes him as well behaved and releases him from prison simply must know he is going to start down the same rage-filled white man privilege path again (erratic and dangerous Tesla behavior) to violently attack another woman.
