UT Tesla Kills One in Sideways Crash Into Oncoming Traffic

This is the second story I’m reading today about a Tesla that lost control and crashed into multiple other vehicles, where only the Tesla owner is injured and then dies.

At approximately 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 18, 2025, a Tesla was traveling west on US-6 near the East Carbon junction. A heavy rainstorm caused conditions in which the Tesla lost control of the wheel and spun into eastbound traffic near milepost 259.

The Tesla crashed into a pop-up camper trailer being towed by a Ram 1500. While in oncoming traffic, an eastbound GMC Yukon hit the driver’s side of the Tesla.

The Tesla driver was killed in the collision. The Yukon driver obtained minor injuries, and the Ram 1500 driver was left unharmed.
