BORDEAUX: Four people were killed in western France late on Saturday when a Tesla electric car caught fire for reasons not yet determined, prosecutors said on Sunday.
The accident occurred outside the city of Niort, causing the deaths of the driver and three passengers who were employees at a restaurant in nearby Melle, according to a source close to police.
“An inquiry has been opened to determine the causes and circumstances of the deadly accident, a probe during which expertise on the vehicle will be requested,” a local judge told AFP.
According to preliminary reports, the vehicle rammed into several road signs at high speed,
The passengers on board were already dead when rescuers arrived at the scene, police said. Tesla, founded by the billionaire CEO Elon Musk, has frequently faced scrutiny over safety issues.
