CA Tesla Kills One in “Veered” Head-on Crash

This tragic crash report reminds me of all the video footage I’ve seen of Tesla driverless software drifting across the road into oncoming traffic.

Investigators report a male juvenile from Mendota was driving a 2021 Tesla on northbound Highway 33, north of Clarkson Avenue just as a 2019 Freightliner was traveling southbound on the same road.

For reasons yet to be determined, officers say the juvenile allowed the Tesla to partially veer to the left, into the southbound lane. The Tesla crashed head-on with the Freightliner and the juvenile was ejected from the force of impact.

The Tesla continued northeast as it came to rest within an agricultural field east of Highway 33.

CHP says the juvenile driver of the Tesla sustained fatal injuries and the driver of the Freightliner received treatment on the scene for minor injuries he sustained.

There are too many examples of Tesla crashes like this one, where reasons are yet to be determined.
