CHP blame the drug use, speed for the crawler Cyberttuck that killed 3 - GV wire

Piedmont, California – drug use and excessive speed were to blame for last year’s fiery collapse of a Cybertruck Tesla who killed three students near San Francisco, said Highway California in a preliminary report.

Four people were in Cybertruck when he threw themselves from a road, slammed into a restraint wall and burst into flames shortly after 3 in the morning, on November 27, in Piedmont.

“The officers have established that a combination of driving under the influence of drugs and insecure speed were the causes of the” accident, “said the highway in a statement last week.

Firefighter’s quick response

Although the police officers who responded could not extinguish the flames with their extinguishers, the fire department quickly took it on fire, officials said at that time.

The fireman’s head of Piedmont, Dave Brannigan, said the day after the accident that the flames were extinguished meant that it is unlikely that the high Lithium battery of the Cyberttuck would have caught fire. He called the incident “more along the lines of a typical car fire.”

Identified victims

Unshged in the accident with a single vehicle were Soren Dixon, 19, 20 -year -old Jack Nelson, and Krysta Tsukahara, 19 years old. The fourth occupant, Jordan Miller, 20, survived after someone from another car managed to get him out of the wreck. All four were home from the Faculty for gratitude Day break and graduates of Piedmont High School, the Chronicles in San Francisco reported on Sunday.

The chronicle cited toxicology reports that determined the three victims who died had alcohol, cocaine and other substances in their system. Their deaths were convicted of an accident, because they were caused by asphyxia due to the smoke inhale in the car, and the burns were a “significant” factor in their deaths, the autopsy report said.

The ongoing investigation and Cybertruck recalls

The investigation of the Highway Patrol is in progress and a final report is expected in a few months, the agency said.

Cybertruck, which has been available for purchase for more than a year, has been reminded several times for safety issues, including once in November, because a malfunction at an electric inverter can cause the drive wheels to lose power. Last April, futuristic -looking trucks were reminded to repair gas pedals that can be blocked in the interior gasket.
