April 19 (UPI) — Two passengers died when a Tesla moving at a high speed in Texas with no one in the driver’s seat collided into a tree and caught fire, authorities said Monday. The crash of the Tesla Model S Saturday night in a Houston suburb of Spring, Texas, killed a person in the front passenger seat and another person in the rear seat of the car, Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman told CNN. «I can tell you our investigators are certain no one was in the driver’s seat at the time of the crash,» Herman added in the CNN report. Authorities have not yet released names of the 69-year-old and 59-year-old killed in the crash. The 2019 Tesla Model S was driving at a high speed when it failed to navigate a curve and ran off the road, hit a tree and burst into flames near the Woodlands, about 30 miles north of Houston, Herman said.
