The sole surviving occupant was rescued from the burning Tesla Cybertruck by a witness. Investigators doubt that a mechanical issue with the electric vehicle caused the crash. The three victims who died were 2023 graduates of Piedmont High School in California.

The Piedmont High School graduates were killed when the truck they were driving crashed at Hampton Road between Sea View and King avenues about 3 a.m. Wednesday. The truck caught fire after the crash and one person, who has not been identified, was pulled by a passerby and taken to a hospital.
