After crashing into a tree, the Tesla car was burnt –
Previously, two men were killed after Tesla was on autopilot, hit a tree and caught fire with two passengers still inside. It is the Tesla Model S 2019 which has the status of an electric car, crashing into a tree at Carlton Woods, Saturday (17/4/2021) at 23:25.
Officers needed 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish the fire without successfully rescuing the occupants. Officers had difficulty extinguishing the fire for up to four hours, because the fire continued to burn on the car battery. Until finally, officers had to call Tesla to ask how to put out the fire in the battery.
According to Harris County Precinct 4 Police Mark Herman the investigation found “no one was driving” when the accident occurred. One person sits in the front passenger seat and the second sits at the back.
He explained that the accident occurred because the car which cost 80,000 US dollars (Rp. 1.1 billion) was moving at high speed and failed to make it through the turn. As a result, the car went off the track, then hit a tree.
