A fatal Tesla Cybertruck incident in Piedmont is being investigated by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration and California Highway Patrol after three Piedmont high school graduates died and another was hospitalized.

Three people were killed and another was hospitalized after a Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont on Wednesday, according to authorities.

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.

Family and friends are mourning Soren Dixon, Jack Nelson and Krysta Tsukahara, all college students who graduated from Piedmont High School in 2023.

Over the weekend, the city of Piedmont released the names and brief statements from the families of three 2023 Piedmont High School graduates who died in a fiery Cybertruck crash on the day before Thanksgiving.

The NHTSA 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.
