Police say the pedestrian entered the Tesla’s path of travel, rather than the Tesla entered the pedestrian’s path. In either case, the Tesla is infamous for its dangerous blindness and repeatedly killing pedestrians.

On December 5, 2024, at approximately 5:31 p.m., a 2021 Tesla Model 3 was traveling westbound on Governor Printz Boulevard near Downing Drive. At the same time, a pedestrian was walking in a northern direction as she was attempting to cross Governor Printz Boulevard from the area of Downing Drive. As the pedestrian attempted to cross the roadway, she entered the Tesla’s path of travel, and was struck by the car. The location where the pedestrian was attempting to cross is not equipped with a marked crosswalk and it is dark with no streetlights in the immediate vicinity.
