Texas State troopers at the moment are investigating what occurred through the crash that passed off within the early morning hours of August 5.
Troops with the Texas Division of Public Security mentioned the Cybertruck driver was heading west on Cedar Parkway when the truck left the roadway close to Fisher Highway for unknown causes, based on KHOU 11. From there, the Cybertruck hit a concrete culvert and was engulfed in flames. It killed the motive force, who had not been recognized as a result of severity of their burns. The license plate and VIN had been additionally destroyed within the fireplace.
Footage from the scene reveals what’s left of the Cybertruck after the flames had been extinguished – only a burned-out shell, based on CW 39. DPS can also be apparently investigating whether or not or not Autopilot was engaged through the crash. If I needed to guess, it was not, because it feels like Tesla has but to roll it or Full Self-Driving out to Cybertruck prospects.
Time will inform what occurred to make the motive force depart the roadway and hit the culvert. For Tesla’s sake, I hope it wasn’t a sticky accelerator that has been recalled for getting caught within the wide-open-throttle place.
