A high-speed collision involving a Tesla vehicle occurred today on State Route 56 West near Camino Del Sur in San Diego, CA. The incident took place around 7:50 AM when the Tesla reportedly lost control, went down an embankment, and crashed into a fence.
Witnesses reported that the vehicle was traveling at high speeds before the accident, and it appeared that the driver may have been unresponsive, possibly due to being in self-driving mode. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene to assess the situation. Upon arrival, responders found the vehicle locked, with some movement observed inside, but no one was heard calling for help.
The collision resulted in damage to property, as the Tesla knocked down a section of chain-link fence during the incident. A tow truck was called to assist with the recovery of the vehicle, which was precariously positioned on the embankment.
Traffic in the area was affected, with lane closures and emergency personnel blocking the first lane to ensure safety during the response. The extent of any injuries remains unknown, and authorities are continuing to assess the situation.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution while traveling through the area as cleanup efforts are underway.
