A horrific car crash involving a Tesla Model 3 in Pasadena, California, has claimed the lives of three individuals while leaving three others critically injured. The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, sending shockwaves through the community.
According to Pasadena Police Department Lt. Anthony Russo, the Tesla, occupied by six individuals, was traveling at a high speed in a 35 mph zone when it failed to negotiate a slight curve. The vehicle struck a curb, causing it to launch into the air, where it collided with a power pole and crashed into the facade of a building.
The violent impact ejected three passengers seated in the back of the Tesla. Sadly, the driver and two of those passengers succumbed to their injuries at the scene. The three surviving occupants were rushed to the hospital in serious condition.
The crash also resulted in a power outage, affecting over 500 homes and businesses in the area. The city's spokesperson, Lisa Derderian, confirmed that electricity was restored later on Saturday.
Authorities are thoroughly investigating the deadly collision. They are examining the data recorded by the Tesla at the time of the accident to determine if factors such as intoxication were involved. Witness accounts are also being considered.
Nicholas Fernandez, a witness to the aftermath, described seeing three of the ejected victims lying in the street amidst downed power lines. He stated that his residence had lost electricity but had since been restored.
Pending notification of their families, the identities of the six victims, all between the ages of 17 and 22, have not been released. The crash has raised concerns about the safety of Tesla vehicles, especially those equipped with advanced features like Autopilot.
Police continue to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the incident, seeking to establish the full circumstances surrounding the crash. The findings of the inquiry will be crucial in understanding the factors that contributed to this tragic event.
The Pasadena community is deeply saddened by the loss of life in this devastating accident. Condolences and support are being extended to the victims' families and friends during this difficult time.
