Shocking the tragic death they found three students last November, including 19 -year -old Krysta Tsukahara, in a car accident when one Tesla Cybertruck crashed into a wall and tree on Piedmont, California and wrapped in flames.
The 19 -year -old student of the Savannah college in California lost her life in an accident with Tesla Cybertruck when she was trapped in the vehicle that was completely burnt after a heavy traffic accident. The accident happened in November 2024, while there were 3 more young students with her in the car, two of whom also died.
The 19 -year -old driver, Soren Dixon, and 20 -year -old passenger Jack Nelson, died. The fourth passenger, Jordan Miller, managed to get rid of the vehicle after a passerby broke the windshield with a tree branch.
According to the Daily Mail, her parents have now been legally moved, claiming that Tesla of Elon Musk was aware of the design defect of the massive vehicle for years, but did not correct it.
Krysta Michelle Tsukahara was a student at Savannah College of Art and Design. Reportedly, she initially survived the heavy impact of the vehicle and was conscious, but was unable to get out of the truck after loss of power and damage to the electronic door opening system, according to the lawsuit filed by her parents, Carl and Noelle Tsukahara.
The lawsuit also states that the 19 -year -old died of inhalation of tobacco and burns, as eyewitnesses were unable to unleash her with the other victims.
The lawsuit also notes that the doors of Tesla operate with a 12 volt battery, which can damage if the vehicle loses power, and that the manual unraveling system of internal doors is difficult to find.
“It’s just a horror story. Tesla knows that it has happened and will happen again, and does nothing but sell the car with a system that traps people and does not provide a way of escape, “said family lawyer Roger Dreyer.
The lawsuit reports more than 30 publicly -published problems with Tesla door systems and accuses the company of “conscious indifference” to security, claiming that it has been aware of the problem for years.
The design of the Tesla handles, which open with the click of a button, which is described in the treatment as prone to damage in the event of a collision and “deprived of a functional, accessible and distinct mechanism of manual release of the door, [ή] Security. “
The parents of Jack Nelson, Todd and Stannye filed a separate lawsuit against Tesla on Thursday (03.10.2025). Both lawsuits seek compensation for non -determined criminal offenses.
After tests, all 4 occupants found cocaine, alcohol and other substances, while California Highway Patrol reported as a cause of the rolling stock under the influence of substances and excessive speed.
However, Dreyer said the Tsukahara family had “very strong arguments” against Tesla. “These [η Tesla] They will want to blame Mr. Dixon, anyone other than themselves. But this vehicle should in no way buried these people and my customers’ daughter. It is our way to make the offender responsible and correct bad behavior, “he said.
Cybertruck, released in November 2023, has faced multiple revocations and decline in sales. In September, Tesla was under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after reports of owners that the doors did not open, so parents are sometimes forced to break windows to free children
