A college student from California was reportedly burned alive when her ride, which happened to be a Tesla Cybertruck, turned into a deathtrap of the worst kind.
The incident resulted in the car locking her and her friends inside after the vehicle crashed and went up in flames, as per a pair of recent lawsuits.
Three college students, including a 19-year-old named Krysta Tsukahara, were killed in the early morning crash last November when the electronic vehicle burst into flames after hitting a retaining wall and a tree in Piedmont in California.
The Cybertruck driver and passenger also passed away in the fiery crash. Meanwhile, a fourth passenger was able to escape after an onlooker smashed the windshield with a tree branch. He did survive the initial crash and was fully conscious but could not escape the burning vehicle after the Cybertruck lost power, causing the electronic door release system to fail, as per a lawsuit filed by her parents.
The teen ended up dying due to smoke inhalation and burns after onlookers were unable to pull her and the other occupants from the truck, as per the lawsuit.
This resulted in damages from Dixon’s estate and that of the vehicle’s owner.
