Cybertruck horror kills college students home for holidays after Tesla slammed into tree and caught fire

A Cybertruck crash that killed three college students who were home for the holidays has shaken a ritzy California neighborhood. 

The Tesla wreck involving four people happened in Piedmont at Hampton Road and King Avenue at around 3 am on Wednesday. 

Police said the car jumped the curb and collided with a concrete wall before striking a tree and going up in flames. 

Footage revealed the front of the Cybertruck was completely destroyed. 

There were no other cars involved and the exact cause of the accident is unknown. Investigators have not ruled out the influence of drugs or alcohol, Kron4 reported.

Police chief Jeremy Bowers told FOX2 that another car had been trailing the Tesla and pulled the survivor out of the wreckage. The rescued individual is in the hospital and their condition is unknown.

It is not clear if person who pulled out the passenger out knew the victims. 

The other passengers were pronounced dead at the scene.

The fiery crashs survivor was pulled out of the car by someone who was driving behind them 

A neighbor said that the cars passengers were college students visiting home for the holidays, but Piedmont police have not confirmed this information. 

Police were alerted of the crash by the Tesla itself via a feature that contacts authorities if there is an accident. Devastated neighbors who witnessed the aftermath also notified them. 

Im not gonna speculate on what I think happened, at this point we dont know, Capt. Chris Monahan of the Piedmont Police Department told ABC7. 

Bowers told FOX2: The solo vehicle that was involved in the crash, there was another vehicle that came after it, that was following behind and came upon the vehicle as it was fully engulfed.

The individual exited the car and was able to pull the person out...the heat was just too intense.

California High Patrol is continuing this investigation. 

The well-off Piedmont neighborhood has about 11,000 residents. The median home price in the area is about $2.4 million, according to Zillow.

Cybertrucks have recently come under fire after nonprofit Consumer Reports alleged visibility and overall safety issues with Elon Musks creation.

In October, more than 27,000 Cybertrucks were recalled because of lagging displays for rear-view camera images. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to Tesla for comment.

Cybertrucks have been under fire by critics who claimed the car has visibility and safety issues

A woman in her 20s was the only survivor of the fiery October 24 crash after Rick Harper, a heroic Canada Post employee, smashed the window of the blazing Model Y with a metal pole.

Four of her friends, identified as 25-year-old Neelraj Gohil, his sister Ketaba Gohil, 29, Jay Sisodiya and Digvijay Patel all died in the tragedy.

Teslas are equipped with a button that drivers and passengers can push to open a door, instead of a handle. 

But if the power fails after a crash, the doors can get stuck and wont open.

I would assume the young lady would have tried to open the door from the inside, because she was pretty desperate to get out, Harper said to the Toronto Star.

I dont know if that was the battery or what. But she couldnt get out.
