Police haven’t released details yet, but we know so far that the Tesla on an Interstate was hit from behind so hard it crushed and killed the oncoming driver. Early investigations will be looking at evidence of ghost braking.
An early Saturday crash on Interstate 75 in Collier County left a Miami driver dead, Florida Highway Patrol reports.
Troopers said the Miami man, 44, was driving on I-75 West near Mile Marker 73 about 6:45 a.m. when his Kia Soul read-ended a Tesla.
Officials pronounced the man dead at the scene.
Interstate 75 is a completely flat, straight and wide open divided road.
The report from NJ police says the Tesla crashed itself at 1 am in the left lane. The occupant got out and was struck and killed by oncoming traffic.

Authorities say the incident took place at milepost 146.4 on the Garden State Parkway in East Orange. State police said a Tesla Model Y was traveling southbound on the parkway when the crash happened at approximately 12:58 a.m. The car, driven by Eliyahu Fink, 43, of Suffern, was involved in a single-car crash and became disabled.
Police said Fink exited the car following the crash and “remained in the roadway.” A short time later, a Jeep Cherokee, also traveling southbound, struck both Fink and the Tesla. The impact caused Fink “to become airborne and thrown into the northbound lanes,” state police told News 12 in a statement.
Here is a story often repeated about the Tesla. I think the Pennsylvania case was perhaps the most dramatic, given the photos and descriptions of water wasted. Instead, Florida police just say this:
A Spring Hill woman was uninjured after her Tesla crashed and caught fire on Thursday morning. Troopers say the 24-year-old woman collided with debris on U.S. 19 and lost control of the vehicle. The Telsa caught fire in the driveway entrance to Castriota Chevrolet, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Well at least she was in a place to buy a Chevy and continue her life without any more Tesla fires.
Ethics Bowl team wins 2025 national championship…. The Macalester team competed against 35 other teams over two days, ultimately defeating Stanford by one point in the final round.
For the final match, students were asked to discuss questions about space weaponry and term limits for federal judges, including “If you were tasked with outlining the United States’ policy with respect to the use of space weaponry, what would that policy look like?” and “If you were tasked with producing a policy regarding the term lengths for federal judges (up to and including lifetime appointments), what would that policy look like?”
Teams are judged by their ability to identify and analyze the ethical dimensions of each case in a clear, focused, and thoughtful manner, with an appreciation for varied perspectives.
Congratulations to the Macalester team. A job well done, as you can see in the recording.
These topics were obviously picked way back before a week ago, when America still had a Justice branch of government.
And here’s a bit of trivia for you: my undergraduate degree in ethics is from… Macalester. Go Scots! Squeeze that bag of air,
like you just don’t care!
I tend to never mention this because, well, who has ever heard of… McGill? No, I said Macalester. My other degree from LSE is a different story entirely.
Of course the real shocker is that Stanford is allowed to compete in ethics. Anyone under the Stanford name claiming to care about ethics should first have to identify and analyze the ethical dimensions of Leland Stanford’s genocide of native Americans, followed by his relentless fraud and overt racism. Genocide? Yes, genocide. That name Stanford sure has a lot to answer before it steps into a bowl of ethics. I mean can you imagine if the headline was that Macalester defeated Hitler University in an ethics bowl?
Squeeze that bag of air,
