Passing vehicles and suddenly a passenger is dead? This police report is a bit vague.
One person is dead and several others injured after a crash in Door County around 10 p.m. Friday.
Officials say it happened on State Highway 42 and County Road P, north of Sturgeon Bay.
Officials say a Tesla Truck was passing some vehicles and struck an SUV at the intersection.
Four people inside the Tesla were taken to a hospital. A 71-year-old woman in the Tesla died.
Notably, while four Tesla passengers were sent to hospital and one died, the SUV that it crashed into had a very different outcome:
The driver of the SUV was treated at the scene.
Here’s better explanation.
According to the Door County Sheriff’s Office, the Tesla truck driven by a 43-year-old Green Bay man was traveling southbound and passing multiple vehicles when it struck an SUV that was also traveling southbound and making a left turn onto County Road P.
This suggests safety experts may have been right for years, that the Cybertruck is unsafe by design.
German authorities state that the vehicle’s structure is too rigid and therefore does not provide occupants with the mandatory safety.
Impact force is transferred directly into the passengers, unlike safe designs that absorb the force.
