Toyota Corolla wrecked beyond repair after 17 year old driver collided head-on with Tesla Cybertruck pickup truck.
According to California Highway Patrol’s preliminary investigation, the Cybertruck driver sustained minor injury.
First reported Cybertruck crash came few weeks after Tesla began deliveries on Nov 30, nearly 4 years after it was revealed.
The first Cybertruck accident has been reported in California after a 2009 Toyota Corolla driven by a 17-year-old collided head-on with the Tesla electric pickup truck carrying three people.
While the Cybertruck came out relatively unscathed except for the damaged rear wheel fender on the left-hand side of the truck, the Toyota Corolla that collided with it suffered significant damage at the front end, according to the pictures posted on Reddit.
According to the California Highway Patrol’s (CHP) preliminary investigation that was shared with The Autopian, the Cybertruck driver sustained minor injury, though declined medical transportation.
Wrecked Toyota Corolla
CHP’s preliminary investigation reads :
“Our preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota Corolla was traveling south on SR-35 southbound, south of Page Mill Road, at an unknown speed, when the driver, for unknown reasons, turned to the right and subsequently struck a dirt embankment on the right shoulder.
“The Toyota then re-entered the roadway, crossed over the double yellow lines into the northbound lane, and crashed into a Tesla Cybertruck traveling north on SR-35 northbound.
“The Tesla driver sustained a suspected minor injury and declined medical transportation. No other injuries were reported. It does not appear that the Tesla Cybertruck was being operated in autonomous mode. The investigation into this incident is ongoing.”
The first reported Cybertruck crash came just few weeks after Tesla began deliveries on November 30, nearly four years after the brand’s first pickup truck was initially revealed to the world.
