A single-vehicle crash involving a Tesla Cybertruck left three former Piedmont High School students dead and one injured early Wednesday morning on November 27, 2024.

The NHTSA, in general, often investigates crashes involving electric vehicles with self-driving features. Piedmont officials said last week that speeding is possibly a contributing factor, but they did not say whether the driver assistance features on the Cybertruck were engaged at the time of the crash.

Three young individuals – since identified as Soren Dixon, Jack Nelson, and Krysta Tsukahara by the City of Piedmont – were pronounced dead at the scene. The person pulled from the Cybertruck suffered burns and was taken to an area hospital in critical condition but has not been identified. Their current condition is unknown.

A USC community continued to grieve after it was revealed a student athlete was among the people killed in a fiery Tesla Cybertruck crash on the day before Thanksgiving in Northern California.

The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration is in the process of reviewing details about last week's fatal Tesla Cybertruck crash in Piedmont that left three young adults dead and a fourth critically injured.
