Automotive: Teens burn to death inside Tesla

Four people were killed Tuesday in Martin County, Florida due to a two-vehicle crash involving a minivan and a Tesla. The Tesla caught on fire following the collision.

One bystander described trying to rescue a teen from the Tesla, saying: “I was face to face. I tried to crawl up underneath the car to try and do something there but the fact it was exploding people were yelling, ‘the car is going to explode, the car is going to explode.’ I couldn’t physically reach the kid who was in there.”

The driver of the Tesla died in the wreck. He was a male, born in 2004, which would make him 17 or 18 years old. His female passenger, who was born in 2003 (18-19 years old) was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

They thought they were saving the environment.  So tragic.
