CA Police Suffer 2nd Degree Burns Saving Tesla Victim

A driver under the influence of Elon Musk crashed into other cars while fleeing police. He apparently ran on foot while his passenger had to be extricated from their flaming Tesla.

Police initially lost sight of the vehicle, but they soon got a report that it had crashed near Jacktone Road and Santos Avenue. Officers believe the car had run the intersection before crashing into other vehicles. The Tesla was quickly catching fire, police say, with a passenger still inside. Officers quickly jumped into action and pulled out that passenger – seconds before the car was fully engulfed. One officer suffered second-degree burns to his hands during the rescue, police say, while the passenger is in critical condition.

Body cam footage has been released showing Ripon Police Officer Jacob Veltkamp entering to rescue the passenger in the crucial seconds before the defective Tesla design was fully engulfed in flames.
