Deadly Tesla crash focuses attention on emergency response
Last week’s fatal accident in Florida involving an electrical vehicle is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is giving special attention to how emergency responders – including firefighters and tow truck operators -- dealt with the electric vehicle battery fire that followed the crash.
The 2014 Tesla Model S was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed on State Route A1A in Fort Lauderdale when it struck a wall and burst into flames. Two people in the vehicle were killed and one was injured.
