A mistake with consequences: In the USA, a Tesla driver ended up in a pool with his car. A crane had to come in for the rescue.
In the US state of California, a driver drove his Tesla through a wall and straight into a private swimming pool. According to the offer of the local fire department of Pasadena, three people were on board: in addition to the man behind the wheel, another adult and a four-year-old child. “Good Samaritans” could have saved all three of those affected.
According to local media reports, the accident happened near a school on Tuesday. School employees jumped into the pool to help the occupants of the electric car. Nobody sustained serious injuries. According to the information, a crane then lifted the Tesla out of the pool.
According to the fire department, an accident was probably the cause of the accident: the driver probably hit the gas pedal instead of the brake and as a result drove through the wall and into the pool.
