According to a report by the New York Post, a teenage driver of a Cybertruck died with two of his friends in a horrific crash in California. The incident occurred on November 27 around 3:00 am as the group was heading home after a party near Piedmont. The collision killed Soren Dixon, 19, Krysta Tsukahara, and Jack Nelson, 20.
Per a report by USA Today, the Cybertruck 'jumped a curb.' The vehicle then collided with a tree and retaining wall and stopped with the front of the truck wrapped around the tree. Autopsy reports explain that the Cybertruck 'caught fire and fully burned.'
Dixon, who was driving the truck at the time, reportedly had a BAC of 0.195%. That figure is more than double the legal limit for drivers, which is only 0.08%. Documents from the Alameda County Coroner's Office suggest Dixon also had cocaine in his system at the time of the crash.
Only One Passenger Survived The Cybertruck Crash
USA Today reports that a fourth person in the Cybertruck, Jordan Miller, 20, survived the wreck. Emergency services dragged him from the burning vehicle and took him to hospital. A previous report by the New York Post says that Miller suffered from severe burns, according to his mother, Samantha Miller. "It's a devastating situation. And you know, we're all thinking about the kids that were lost," she said.
In November, Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers told KTVU, "This is just a tragic loss of life. We don't know the cause of the collision, and during the holiday season, our hearts go out to the families that are going to have to deal with this tragedy."
The police suspected that speeding played a role in the crash but did not rule out drugs or alcohol as contributing factors. When emergency services arrived at the scene, the flames were allegedly twice as high as the vehicle itself. The California Highway Patrol reportedly took the Cybertruck to test it for mechanical faults afterward.
