Three people were killed and another seriously injured in a crash involving a Tesla Cybertruck in Piedmont, California. First responders arrived to find the vehicle on fire, which proved too intense to be extinguished, leading to a tragic outcome. The victims have not been identified out of respect for their families. The survivor of the crash underwent surgery and was recovering in the hospital. A nearby motorist was able to rescue the injured man from the burning vehicle. An investigation into the crash is underway to determine the cause, with speed being cited as a factor. The city plans to proceed with its Thanksgiving Turkey Trot event, with remarks from the mayor and a moment of silence to remember the victims. A friend of the injured man described the situation as devastating, especially because the victims were home from college for the holidays. The cause of the fire is being investigated, with the involvement of the Cybertruck’s lithium battery considered unlikely. The local community is mourning the loss of the individuals in the crash, with former teachers expressing shock and sadness.
