Three people were killed and one person was seriously injured in a Tesla Cybertruck crash in California’s Bay Area. The vehicle was still on fire when responders arrived in Piedmont, causing intense flames that were difficult to extinguish. The victims have not been identified out of respect for their families, but it was reported that all four individuals were home from college for the holidays. A nearby motorist was able to rescue the injured man before the fire department arrived. The injured person underwent surgery and is in recovery. An investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the crash, with speed being a possible factor. The fire chief stated that it was unlikely that the lithium battery of the Cybertruck caused the fire. The city of Piedmont plans to proceed with its Thanksgiving Turkey Trot event, with remarks about the crash and a moment of silence planned before the race. The tragic incident has deeply affected the community, with friends and teachers of the victims expressing sorrow over the loss. This devastating event serves as a reminder of the importance of safe driving practices and the impact of such tragedies on families and communities.
