Four friends died as they were trapped in a burning Tesla after it crashed and the car’s electronic door handles broke.
According to a report in The Daily Mail, a woman in her 20s was the only survivor of the fiery Oct. 24 crash after Rick Harper, a motorist who was passing by, smashed the window of the blazing Model Y with a metal pole. Four people, identified as 25-year-old Neeraj Gohil, his sister Ketaba Gohil, 29, Jay Sisodia, and Digvijay Patil, all perished in the tragic crash.
Harper told the Toronto Star that the surviving woman could not open the doors from inside. The crash occurred in Toronto when the driver of the Tesla lost control, crashed into a guardrail, and struck a concrete pillar. The vehicle caught fire on impact. This incident highlights ongoing safety concerns, as Tesla recalls have addressed various vehicle defects in recent years. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of these deceased victims as well as the surviving victim. We hold them in our prayers.
