The crash happened around 5:35 p.m. on County Road 150 West just south of County Road 400 North in Plain Township. Police say a Tesla was heading north on 150 when it crossed the center line and crashed head-on into a southbound Chevrolet.
The driver of the Chevrolet, identified as 44-year-old Joseph Criswell of Milford, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say six other passengers in that vehicle who were children suffered various injuries. Two girls were airlifted to the hospital while another girl was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
A man driving six children was just killed by a direct hit from Tesla. Without fraud there would be no Tesla, and without Tesla there would be… hundreds of funerals fewer. This crash reminds me of a similar story in California, when 3 in a family of 9 were killed by a “veered” Tesla.
Failing to stay in a lane — basic level two stuff — is a very common problem for Tesla, as I’ve caught about a half dozen such fatal “veered” crashes by Tesla in the news just this past month.
Basically the new research shows infrared wavelengths can be brought within the visual spectrum, using a thin and very light film applied to glasses.
As the infrared photons only pass through a single resonant metasurface and are then mixed with a pump beam — a source of light used to amplify energy levels — night vision can be provided without the need to convert photons to electrons. This then bypasses the need for multiple heavy optical and cooling components to reduce thermal noise; the up-conversion from IR to visible light via the metasurface takes place at room temperature.
It’s like the opposite to sunglasses. Maybe we’ll call them moonglasses, and cities everywhere can subsidize them by turning off their street lights.
Tesla is named after the wrong guy. Its CEO clearly sounds just like the infamous Morrell.
About a year after opening up shop, federal investigators came banging on Morrell’s door in February 1908 to arrest him for using the U.S. mail to defraud; after being tipped off by disgruntled investors, investigators determined Morrell was running a massive airship racket. As he was hauled off to jail, Morrell shouted to a San Francisco Examiner reporter he was going to “revolutionize the methods of transportation of the universe.”
The inside of a courtroom became a familiar place for Morrell as he was hit again and again with fraud charges. But each time, he wriggled out of them and returned to his beloved airship.
Doesn’t “revolutionize the methods of transportation of the universe” sound familiar?
In spite of his massive failure, Morrell was undeterred. “I still believe that I had solved the problem of aerial navigation,” he said.
He hadn’t.
Ouch. So familiar.
And what about those fools now dumping money into a Cybertruck fiasco?
Morrell’s fiance rushed to his defense. Only identified as Miss A. Kern from San Francisco, the Tribune said she blamed “disobedience to the orders of Morrell” for the crash. According to National Airship Company employees, the woman had been quietly bankrolling Morrell’s folly for the past two years. In fact, she’d blown through $70,000 of her inheritance on his passion project and fell in love with the charismatic inventor along the way.
They demand obedience to charisma, even after catastrophic failure.

The wife of a man killed by Tesla is now suing the pizza place that served the car’s owner.
Wendy Rockacy, the widow of former UPMC doctor Douglas Rockacy, blames Joseph Yanta, who was behind the wheel that July night in the crash that killed Douglas Rockacy. But she is also suing Cenci’s Pizzeria and Restaurant, along with its owner.
Joseph Yanta, meanwhile, pled guilty and then started suing a country club as well as the pizza place.
In February this year, Yanta pleaded guilty to homicide by vehicle and DUI. Investigators said data from his Tesla showed he was going over 120 miles per hour and his blood alcohol content was more than double the limit.
A few months later, Yanta filed his own lawsuit against Cenci’s and the country club for the injuries he suffered in the crash.
I haven’t read the court filings but I hope they say something like…
Bartender should have asked if I came in a Tesla, therefore establishing I am unable to make good decisions about safety and must not be trusted to drink.
Liability really rests with Tesla, however, as they repeatedly and shamelessly promote the fraud that their car is safe to drive intoxicated.
