A fatal Tesla Cybertruck incident in Piedmont is being investigated by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration and California Highway Patrol after three Piedmont high school graduates died and another was hospitalized.

The sole surviving occupant was rescued from the burning Tesla Cybertruck by a witness. Investigators doubt that a mechanical issue with the electric vehicle caused the crash. The three victims who died were 2023 graduates of Piedmont High School in California.

Three young individuals – since identified as Soren Dixon, Jack Nelson, and Krysta Tsukahara by the City of Piedmont – were pronounced dead at the scene. The person pulled from the Cybertruck suffered burns and was taken to an area hospital in critical condition but has not been identified. Their current condition is unknown.

Three people are dead and one person is injured after a Tesla Cybertruck crashed and erupted into flames outside of San Francisco.

The NHTSA, in general, often investigates crashes involving electric vehicles with self-driving features. Piedmont officials said last week that speeding is possibly a contributing factor, but they did not say whether the driver assistance features on the Cybertruck were engaged at the time of the crash.
