3 Killed and 1 Critical in Tesla Cybertruck Crash on Hampton Road [Piedmont, CA]

Police Investigate Fatal Crash on Hampton Road in Piedmont

Piedmont, CA (November 27, 2024) – On Wednesday, three people died and one other sustained critical injuries in a Tesla Cybertruck crash on Hampton Road.

Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers reported that dispatchers first received an iPhone alert from a passenger in the vehicle at 3:08 a.m., indicating a collision at Hampton Road and King Avenue. 

A 911 call followed two minutes later about the same incident.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found the Tesla engulfed in flames, positioned between a retaining wall and a sidewalk. 

The crash involved four occupants in the Tesla, but a driver in a following vehicle intervened, pulling one person from the burning Cybertruck. 

The other three occupants succumbed to their injuries at the scene, while the rescued individual was transported to the hospital with severe injuries.

Authorities are uncertain whether the occupants were incapacitated from the crash or trapped in the vehicle when it caught fire. 

Fire personnel arrived at 3:16 a.m., eight minutes after the initial alert. Despite officers’ earlier attempts to extinguish the fire with handheld extinguishers, the flames persisted until firefighters arrived and quickly suppressed them. 

Piedmont Fire Chief Dave Brannigan suggested the fire likely did not originate from the vehicle’s battery, given the rapid extinguishment.

Investigators currently believe speed contributed to the crash, though they have found no evidence of mechanical issues with the Cybertruck. 

Details about the cause of the collision or how the vehicle ignited remain under investigation. 

Police noted that the victims and the assisting driver were likely returning from an event before the crash occurred.

Out of respect for the victims’ families, authorities have withheld the identities of those who died.
