Anthony Conley, 38, of Canal Winchester was westbound on West Waterloo Street in a 2016 Tesla Model S when he failed to stop at a stop sign coming out of the shopping plaza, striking a southbound 2015 Buick Enclave on Gender Road.
Smith was driving the Enclave with two passengers, Sherri Smith, 60, and the unnamed juvenile, all of whom were from Columbus, according to the press release.
Wayne Smith and the juvenile died at the scene, and Sherri Smith was taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital in critical condition.
The Tesla must have been accelerating at high speed to kill two people in a crash on such a small approach. West Waterloo Street is very short.
The more you know about Tesla, the less you want them to be on the road. A five day old truck experienced no brakes and crashed.
The driver wrote: ‘Guys I had my Truck for less than 350 miles. Something happened I can’t explain… I was driving like usual and when coming into a turn releasing the accelerator but the speed wasn’t reducing… so I pressed the brake… but it didn’t engage…. until it was too late and I hit a signal light pole, also airbags didn’t deploy.’
According to the driver’s replies to questions, they had only been driving the truck for five days, and the issue happened suddenly and abruptly.

Nonetheless, the owner’s enthusiasm for their Cybertruck did not seem diminished.
‘Everything was spectacular I enjoy the vehicle and I’m glad…’
Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

In a recently shared video, Remo can be seen picking up his $100,000 electric pickup from the dealership. But mere minutes into his first strip, the entire screen starts flashing red, with a notice appearing on the vehicle’s screen instructing him to “PULL OVER SAFELY.” A loud warning sound only adds to the chaotic scene.
The terrifying incident highlights the automaker’s reputation for poor quality control. Fans have long been appalled at the condition of their newly-delivered Teslas — and the Cybertruck, the first vehicle of its kind, is no different.
Notably the command to “SAFELY PULL OVER” needs to be said on a truck that is anything but safe, and can’t pull. Reputation for poor quality control is an understatement.

New Jersey local news has provided extensive detail about an 18 year old who used a Tesla to murder an innocent elderly man.
Aryeh Bakst was driving a 2023 Tesla sedan west on West County Line Road around 9 a.m. on March 3. Surveillance video of the crash posted by The Lakewood Scoop shows the Tesla slamming into a 2013 Toyota Corolla driven by Jules Brotsky, 82, of Lakewood, making a left turn onto Laurelwood Avenue from the eastbound lanes.
…Brotsky remained hospitalized and died from his injuries on March 26.
Bakst was charged with homicide the next day in addition to earlier tickets for reckless driving, careless driving and speeding.
…a noun from 1843, as a name for an imaginary hobgoblin or fright, perhaps from influence of catamount… 1660s as a shortening of cat-o’-mountain (1610s), from cat of the mountain (mid-15c.), a name aplied to various large wild cats of the Old World. From 1794 in reference to the lynx, puma, or cougar of the United States and Canada.
And regardless of 1917 dialect notes trying to confuse things even further, I’m talking about the legend of the Wampus Cat, allegedly from the Cherokee Nation.
Among the Cherokee people, one finds striking examples of the high status afforded to women in their society. The legend of Running Deer illustrates the strength, courage and vital roles Cherokee women embodied.
Let me begin by clarifying that Running Deer should not be confused with the spiritual figure Nunnehi, or Deer Woman. Some have mistakenly conflated names and legends in America, perhaps due to oversimplified depictions in mid-20th century popular culture. We must be careful not to allow such misconceptions to proliferate.
The story tells of how the malicious spirit Ew’ah, embodying madness and despair, threatened the well being of the Cherokee community. Running Deer arose as the champion to confront this dark force, driven by her desire to protect her people, including her husband who had fallen under Ew’ah’s torment. Her quest transcended mere vengeance – it highlighted the equal standing of Cherokee women as leaders, hunters and guardians alongside men.
Descending from a lineage of powerful female spirit-talkers, Running Deer harnessed not just physical fortitude, but the ancestral wisdom and fierceness symbolized by the mountain cat. She crafted a panther mask, invoking that wild spirit energy as she purposefully entered Ew’ah’s dark realm. In an epic battle echoing through the ancient forests, Running Deer’s cunning and bravery overcame the spirit’s maddening influence, until Ew’ah was vanquished by his own unhinged rage.
Through this heroic victory, Running Deer exemplified the steadfast spirit embodied by Cherokee women. As both spirit-talker and protector of the home, her essence became eternally intertwined with the legendary Wampus cat – a prowling guardian fending off threats to Cherokee lands. Her transformation into this symbolic form represented an integration of her civilized and primal aspects required to face such daunting challenges.
For the Cherokee, this legend celebrates the multifaceted strengths and wisdom that women contributed to the tribe’s survival – nurturing life forces as vital as successful hunting. Her tale has been passed down over generations as a source of empowerment and balance between the civilized and the untamed.
As historians, we must appreciate how such narratives, when interpreted through a systemic perspective, reveal profound truths about a culture’s values and societal organization. The Wampus cat illuminates the revered position of Cherokee women as respected equals to men in both spiritual and physical realms.
It serves as a powerful symbolic model for gender equality.
