Tesla Cybertruck crash in California kills 3, leaves one seriously injured

Three people died and one person was seriously injured after a Tesla Cybertruck crashed in California early Wednesday morning. The crash occurred around 3.10 am. in Piedmont, California, located northeast of Oakland.
Police believe speed contributed to the accident, but the investigation is ongoing. The Cybertruck’s occupants were returning from an event. Another person, traveling separately from the same event, rescued the surviving victim from the burning vehicle.
Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers said, “there’s no indication that there were mechanical effects that were the primary cause for the collision.” He declined to release the victims’ identities.
The Cybertruck caught fire after the crash. Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze.

Piedmont Fire chief Dave Brannigan said the fast response to the fire suggests the Cybertruck's battery wasn't the main cause, and it looked like a “typical car fire.”
Tech billionaire Elon Musk's Tesla Cybertruck has been subject to several recalls since its release about a year ago. These recalls addressed various issues, including potential loss of drive wheel power, malfunctioning rearview cameras, loose trim pieces, faulty windshield wipers, incorrect font sizes on warning lights, and sticking gas pedals.
