Three teens killed in California Tesla Cybertruck crash are identified

The identities of the three youths who perished in a Thanksgiving Eve Tesla Cybertruck crash have been revealed.

Three 19-year-old college sophomores who had met in high school—Krysta Tsukahara, Jack Nelson, and Soren Dixon—were the victims.

 

 

Around three in the morning on Wednesday, the group was on its way back from an event in Piedmont when their car swerved off the road, collided with a tree, and caught fire, according to CBS San Francisco.

Two of Piedmont High School’s most famous athletes were Jack Nelson and Soren Dixon. In addition to playing varsity soccer and junior varsity football, Nelson also played lacrosse.

According to the New York Post, Nelson joined the fraternity Sigma Nu at the University of Colorado Boulder, while Dixon kept playing lacrosse at the University of Southern California.

Jordan Miller, a 20-year-old sophomore at the University of Wisconsin, was the fourth passenger to survive, but he was severely burned. Samantha Miller, Miller’s mother, discussed her son’s illness with reporters.

It’s a terrible circumstance. We’re all thinking about the children who passed away, you know,” she added. On Friday morning, Miller was having surgery.

According to Piedmont Police Capt. Chris Monahan, the car was ablaze in a fire twice as high as the car itself when the police arrived.

The Cybertruck has been impounded by the California Highway Patrol for additional examination, including a look for potential mechanical issues.

The futuristic-looking Cybertruck’s manufacturer, Tesla, has recalled a number of its 2024 versions.

The business recalled over 27,000 cars in November because of rearview camera image delays that could make it harder for drivers to see.

Prior recalls addressed potentially dangerous problems with exterior trim, windshield wipers, and accelerator pedals.

Whether any mechanical issues had a role in Wednesday’s collision has not been established by authorities.

The loved ones of those engaged in this tragedy are in our thoughts and prayers.
