The report from NJ police says the Tesla crashed itself at 1 am in the left lane. The occupant got out and was struck and killed by oncoming traffic.

Authorities say the incident took place at milepost 146.4 on the Garden State Parkway in East Orange. State police said a Tesla Model Y was traveling southbound on the parkway when the crash happened at approximately 12:58 a.m. The car, driven by Eliyahu Fink, 43, of Suffern, was involved in a single-car crash and became disabled.

Police said Fink exited the car following the crash and “remained in the roadway.” A short time later, a Jeep Cherokee, also traveling southbound, struck both Fink and the Tesla. The impact caused Fink “to become airborne and thrown into the northbound lanes,” state police told News 12 in a statement.
