Two die as Tesla with 'no driver' crashes in Texas

Deputies said the car was travelling fast and failed to navigate a turn before running off the road, hitting a tree, and bursting into flames.

Two people were killed in Texas in the fiery crash of a Tesla and authorities say there was no one in the driver’s seat at the time of the crash, although it’s not clear whether the car’s driver-assist system was being used. A Harris County constable told television stations in Houston that there was a person in the front passenger seat and another in a rear passenger seat after the wreck on Saturday night in the Houston suburb of Spring. Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said authorities are certain that no one was driving the car at the time of the crash.
