"A preliminary police report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office obtained by Electrek said the collision occurred at an intersection off Florida State Road 7 near Pero Family Farms. The 2018 Tesla Model 3 was reportedly headed southbound at the time that a tractor-trailer, pulling out of a driveway leading to Pero Family Farms after stopping at a stop sign, attempted to turn left onto the highway headed northbound.
At that time the tractor-trailer entered the path of the Tesla, and the latter hit the driver’s side of the trailer, “resulting in the roof being sheared off as it passed underneath the trailer,” the report said. The 50-year-old Tesla driver died on the scene, per Reuters. It is not clear whether the Tesla’s Autopilot mode was active at the time of the collision.
Per the police report, the Tesla Model 3 continued for nearly a third of a mile before coming to a complete stop. As several reports have noted, the incident bears remarkable similarities to another fatal crash involving a Tesla Model S that occurred in Florida in 2016."
