A Tesla driver in California died early Saturday morning after crashing into a firetruck on an interstate highway, an accident that comes as U.S. regulators are scrutinizingOn Interstate 680 around 4 a.m., the Tesla crashed into a Contra Costa County Fire Protection District truck, which was parked across two lanes to block traffic while police officers assisted with towing a vehicle, said a spokeswoman for the fire-protection district.
The Tesla’s driver was pronounced dead at the scene, the spokeswoman said. A passenger riding in the Tesla was transported to the hospital in critical condition. That person’s condition couldn’t immediately be determined. Four firefighters were wearing seat belts in the truck at the time of collision. All were transported to the hospital with minor injuries and have since been released, said the spokeswoman. The firetruck sustained major damage and was towed from the scene.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation. It isn’t known whether the vehicle had Tesla’s advanced driver-assistance systems,
$TSLA dump coming Tuesday. Rightly so.
Some Busch league shit right here.
He must have been asleep at the wheel as somany others but not news worthy of not a Tesla. The best car ever.WJS please report all crashes please!!!
I think there needs to be a better system for blocking 2 lanes at 4am. I suspect this has happened many times before cars even had cruise control. A lighting system needs to be deployed to make the firetruck easy to identify from a safe distance.
Elon finally quiet or did my block actually work this time?
Such a tragedy!
I wonder how many other fatal automobile crashes occurred over the weekend? What were the makes and models? Inquiring minds would like to know. 🙄
Wow, how come no other car accidents get any attention?
Just another Democrat conspiracy.
Photosensitive epilepsy is a type of epilepsy in which seizures are triggered by flashing or flickering lights, or high contrasting patterns.
Was it in auto pilot mode, or was it just due to a bad driver?
Keep trying. They should get you for slander
Tesla is the safest car on the market according to NHTSA, but every wsj article in a Google search is negative spin... Why?
Any autopilot is just a driver's assistance feature. It's stupid to blame anyone but drivers.
WSJ is beta journalism
Some bugs is on design.
Is it just me or Tesla should be able to tell the world rather it was in FSD in less than 24 hours. elonmusk you can easily tell the world if the car even had option to be using FSD immediately after this accident.
While elonmusk is having his fun on twitter, Tesla stands as the only car brand that purposely kills its drivers.
so that’s a category now, teslas running into stationary emergency vehicles?
Honest question, if elonmusk didn’t own Twitter, would the media stop trying to be such assholes towards him?
Hysterical headline with no facts behind the story. Was the driver in control? Was AP engaged? FFS , the headline like the story is bullshit speculation. Useless.
Readers are scrutinizing TSLA hit piece clickbait such as this. Weekend WSJ chatbot subbing for Chicken Little TSLA Sky Is Falling?
Media hates Elon musk. Ban modern media
$TSLA Tuesday 📈📈🚀🚀
This accident like all accidents of this type is the drivers fault. The Tesla did NOT crash into the firetruck, the driver crashed the Tesla into the fire truck. For this accident to have caused a death in a 5 star safety rated vehicle, it had to happen at high speed too.
Just highlighting telsa car wrecks is wrong but we can say that they are trying to target musk by doing so.
Tesla is trash 😂
Was the Autopilot FSD collision avoidance system on?
Love they only cover Tesla car wrecks desperate to smear musk. Oh and it's always operator error
CrashGPT
Ignorant for every Tesla crash to become national news. 39,000 vehicle crash fatalities in 2020 in the US.
Hate to ask the obvious question. Was the car operating on autopilot? How is this not addressed in the headline? Junior Varsity behavior from
elonmusk
It appears that US regulators are in cahoots with Tesla. There are clear safety issues with Tesla 'autopilot.'
This is propaganda to attack elonmusk — other cars get into accidents too
Rogue AI at work.
How many driving fatalities involve a fire truck?
Trying to screw w the market I c
BREAKING 🚨...running into a fire truck will probably kill you, so don't do it. (especially a parked fire truck. it's red and twinkling for chrissakes)
So elon musk is a failure of engineering. Is a bad engineer technician.
Car crashes happen all day long in CA with many different types of cars. Tesla is very popular in CA, and statistically speaking, it will happen many times. Just like any other car. How come we don't hear about the Toyota that crashed into a firetruck? Or drove off a cliff?
If Firefighters are going to be beta testers of Tesla’s self driving tech, they should be compensated. And if they don’t want to, then stop using it on public roads.
Or stationary objects what so ever, or is that just me?
Hmm a news outlet only talking about a Tesla in a accident. Hmmm that’s not suspicious? I wonder why
Over 35,000 deadly car accidents a year. Why are you intentionally highlighting Teslas, over other brands?
This is exactly why Canada does not allow FULL SELF-DRIVING MODE. They just gave approval in Nov 2022 for the downtown Toronto area only. 1 death or mishap is 1 too many. Whole point of autonomous is to remove driver error
'Full Self-Driving provides additional driver-assistance features, though doesn’t make vehicles self-driving.' How is this not false advertising? Just another Elmo scam.
Full Self Dying
How many people died in a Honda yesterday
its really weird that only teslas have accidents , they may be bad cars after all, and the regulators are doing good only looking at tesla.
And the fraud continues
Why would anybody own a Tesla when there’s way better cars out
