The vehicle’s passenger was also badly injured.
A Tesla driver was killed and the vehicle’s passenger badly injured when it crashed into a fire truck on a Northern California freeway on Saturday, authorities said. The truck had been parked on the road to shield a crew clearing the site of another accident just before 4 a.m. When the Tesla hit the rig, it was “very jolting,” Contra Costa County Fire Captain Chris DeMeo said.
“It didn’t feel like it was real. All my equipment went forward.” The car’s driver was pronounced dead at the scene; the passenger was extricated and transported to a local hospital with “major” injuries, the California Highway Patrol said.
