The way this initial report was written, it has hallmarks of Tesla driverless suddenly crashing into a tree, doors failing to open, and the driver burned to death while trying to escape.

According to Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III, Easton Police and EMS responded to a 911 call at about 1:04 a.m. reporting a single-vehicle crash in the area of Route 138 in Easton, just over the Raynham-Easton town line.

First responders arrived to find a blue Tesla with significant damage in a wooded area about 20 feet from the southbound lane. The Tesla was on fire, and Quinn said human remains were found in the rear seat of the vehicle.
