Police say the driver was under the influence, and did not mention if he was using software to control the crossing.

A passenger was killed and two drivers hospitalized after a two-vehicle crash Friday evening at the intersection of Highway 246 and Domingos Road, just east of Buellton.

The California Highway Patrol responded to the scene around 6:54 p.m. on September 5, along with Santa Barbara County Fire and EMS. According to CHP investigators, a 2012 Tesla Model S was attempting to cross the highway when it was struck by a westbound Ford F-150.
