Emergency responders in Maryland say a Tesla has abruptly crossed or “veered” into the path of an oncoming motorcycle, killing the rider.

Police said officers responded to the intersection of University Boulevard and Kerwin Road just after midnight for reports of a collision between a white 2023 Tesla Model 3 and a black and green Kawasaki motorcycle.

The driver of the motorcycle, Antonio Martinez Gamez, 28, of Silver Spring, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a news release.

Police said a preliminary investigation found Martinez Gamez’s motorcycle had been heading eastbound on University Boulevard toward Kerwin Road just before the crash. At the same time, the Tesla driver heading north on Kerwin Road turned left onto University Boulevard.

Police said Martinez Gamez “tried to avoid the car, but ultimately struck the driver side of the Tesla.”
