Autonomous Driving Vehicle Glich
Obtained from the Arizona Dept of Public Safety via the Wisconsin State Patrol.
**UPDATE: We can confirm the driver indicated to troopers the Tesla was on autopilot at the time of the collision. Additionally, the driver, a 23-year-old male from Irvine, CA, is being investigated for DUI.**
?? Scenes like this one illustrate just how crucial it is for drivers to stay alert, slow down and #MoveOver when there are flashing lights and vehicles stopped on the side of the road. ??
Early today, a sergeant was working a collision scene on EB I-10 near Benson when the driver of a passing Tesla rear-ended his patrol vehicle. The impact caused the patrol vehicle to collide with the back of an ambulance at the scene. Luckily, our sergeant wasn’t in his vehicle at the time and was unharmed, as were the occupants of the ambulance. The driver of the Tesla sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital.
Please, AZ – #MoveOver! It’s the law, and it helps everyone get home safely.
