The incident was reported around 7:33 AM, as the vehicle lost traction and impacted the left side against a hill and the pavement. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported to the occupant of the vehicle.

The driver initially sought information on whether the vehicle had rolled over, but it was confirmed that the Tesla simply slid off the roadway. At 7:45 AM, the occupant declined medical assistance, indicating they were unharmed. Hazard lights were activated on the vehicle to alert other drivers.
