CA Tesla Kills Two in Crash That Ignored Red Light and Huge Bus

Something doesn’t add up again with Tesla, given one just accelerated against a red light straight into the side of a giant bus.

A man and his passenger in a speeding Tesla were killed Saturday when the car ran a red light in Fullerton, triggering a crash that involved an Orange County Transit Authority bus, authorities said.

The collision took place around 6:45 a.m. Saturday near Orangethorpe Avenue and State College Boulevard, the Fullerton Police Department reported.

Moral of this story may be that riding the bus gives some protection from Tesla operating as a constant public safety threat.

Velasquez was killed on impact. Her boyfriend was transported to the hospital, where he died the next day. His identity has not been released by the coroner’s office.

“Angy had just turned 21,” said Stephanya Cabanas, a family friend. “She was so young, so beautiful, so bright.” Velasquez was also a young mother of a 5-year-old son.

“She had so much to live for and it’s just so unfortunate because now he won’t be able to see his mother grow with him,” Cabanas said. “It just happened so suddenly and so we are just trying to take it day by day. We are so broken about this loss. She was a very special person to us. She was a mother, a sister, a friend, and that’s just something so devastating.”
