The
Tesla Cybertruck is officially here and on sale, and now it’s also been through its first public crash. Through pictures initially posted online by
Reddit user Boddhya and reporting by
The Autopian, we have the details on what went down for the incident between a Cybertruck and a
Toyota Corolla.
A description of the incident was initially provided to
The Autopian by the California Highway Patrol.
“On December 28, 2023 at approximately 2:05 pm, CHP Redwood City units were dispatched to a two-vehicle crash on SR-35 (Skyline Boulevard), south of Page Mill Road. Our preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota Corolla was traveling south on SR-35 southbound, south of Page Mill Road, at an unknown speed, when the driver, for unknown reasons, turned to the right and subsequently struck a dirt embankment on the right shoulder. The
Toyota then re-entered the roadway, crossed over the double yellow lines into the northbound lane, and crashed into a Tesla Cybertruck traveling north on SR-35 northbound.”
There was only one injury reported from the scene, as the driver of the Cybertruck had a “complaint of pain.” The CHP classified it as “a suspected minor injury,” and the driver declined medical transport from the scene. The two other passengers in the Cybertruck were not injured, nor was the driver of the
Corolla, a 17-year-old as reported by
The Verge, that hit the
Tesla.
Also of note, The Autopian obtained information that suggests the driver of the Cybertruck was a San Francisco-based Tesla engineer. The Cybertruck was wearing Texas plates but registered to an address in Palo Alto, so this
truck could be a company vehicle and not one of the initial batch of production vehicles already delivered to customers.
nigga look like he's taking an Olan Mills portrait by the crashed truck.....
