Three people were killed and another seriously injured when a Tesla Cybertruck crashed in California’s Bay Area in the early hours of Wednesday, police said.
The vehicle was still on fire when first responders arrived at the scene in Piedmont, a suburb east of Oakland, Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers told a news conference.
Officers attempted to tackle the blaze, “but the fire was too intense for the extinguishers to be effective,” he said. The Piedmont Fire Department then arrived and put out the fire.
“Tragically this collision resulted in three people losing their lives. One individual was seriously injured and taken to an area hospital,” Bowers added.
Police received an iPhone notification about the crash at 3:08 a.m. and someone called 911 two minutes later, when officers were already on the scene, he said.
