It didn’t go out
According to the police, the driver of the Tesla lost control of the car at high speed when it hit a guard rail and fell into a concrete block, writes the newspaper The Toronto Star.
Shortly after the accident, the car caught fire while the driver and four passengers were still inside the car.
A woman who survived the accident herself could not get out of the car because the car’s electrical system was knocked out by the fire and we could not open the electric door, said the police report.
Feast with fever along the way
A witness tells the newspaper that he arrived at the scene when several boys were standing around the car and trying to break the window to get inside the woman who was left.
“They hit a fever along the way,” Rick Harper said.
He got hold of a metal rod that they could use, and together they were able to break the window and help the 25-year-old woman out of the car. She was said to be in shock and unable to speak, but was able to walk after the accident.
Due to heavy smoke, they could not see the other people in the car, who were pronounced dead when the fire brigade extinguished the fire.
Under investigation
The accident happened on the Lake Shore East road in Toronto, Canada – a section that has had many lives in the past year.
The police are now investigating the circumstances and the cause of the Tesla and the subsequent fire, wrote CBC.
“In fact, the intensity of the fire is directly related to the battery cells in the Tesla,” fire chief Jessop told the newspaper.
He quickly added that emergency services have also dealt with many “horrific fires” in fuel-powered vehicles.
Indian Citizens
All the people were Indian citizens, reports the Indian Council in Toronto.
The deceased were Digvijay Patel and Jay Sisodia, as well as siblings Neelraj and Ketaba Gohil, several reports Indian media.

#Tesla #doors #locked #dead
– What are the specific safety features that should be prioritized in electric vehicles to address the risks associated with locked doors and system failures in emergencies?
Thank you for agreeing to be interviewed about this tragic incident involving a Tesla vehicle. I’ve divided our discussion into three thematic sections to cover all the key topics discussed in the article – the locked doors, the deadly fire, and the investigation into the cause of the accident.
[Section 1: The Locked Doors]
Our first topic of discussion is the issue of the locked doors. It’s reported that the driver lost control of the car, and after the crash, the electric system was knocked out, making it impossible for the survivor to open the doors. How can we ensure the safety of passengers in such situations where electric systems fail, especially in electric vehicles that rely heavily on technology?
[Section 2: The Deadly Fire]
The article also mentions the subsequent fire that engulfed the vehicle, trapping the passengers inside. As firefighters arrived, they found it impossible to save the four individuals due to heavy smoke. How can we improve the safety measures in electric vehicles like Tesla to prevent such fires from occurring, especially in accidents where the battery packs may be compromised?
[Section 3: Investigation into the Cause]
The police are investigating the circumstances and causes of both the Tesla’s malfunction and the subsequent fire. What are some potential reasons for this accident, and how can we prevent similar incidents from happening in the future? Additionally, should there be more regulations or safety measures in place for electric vehicles on roads to ensure the safety of both passengers and first responders?
Open-ended questions:
– In your opinion, what are the potential risks and challenges associated with electric vehicles in terms of safety, post-accident emergencies, and fire hazards?
– What steps do you think Tesla and other electric vehicle manufacturers should take to improve safety measures and prevent such accidents from happening?
– Do you think there needs to be a reassessment of laws and regulations around electric vehicles to ensure they are safe for both passengers and emergency personnel?
