A group of teens may were high on cocaine and drunk when they crashed a hulking Cybertruck into a tree and a wall.
A few months ago, a trio of teenagers died in a fiery Tesla Cybertruck crash. The East Bay wreck started a blaze that badly burned the EV’s occupants. However, recent evidence suggests that the teens may have been high on cocaine and drunk at the time of the Cybertruck wreck.
A deadly Tesla Cybertruck crash that claimed three teenagers’ lives involved cocaine and mass quantities of alcohol
Soren Dixon, Jack Nelson, Krysta Tsukahara, and a fourth passenger were out for a drive in a Tesla Cybertruck. Dixon, the 19-year-old driver of the massive electric pickup truck, crashed the vehicle into a tree and a barrier wall, causing extensive damage.
Worse yet, the crash prompted a fire that quickly consumed the truck. Fortunately, a nearby motorist pulled the unnamed motorist from the burning EV. However, the other three young college students died in the crash and resultant blaze.
Now, according to recently available toxicology reports, cocaine and alcohol were a major factor in the crash. Dixon, the Cybertruck driver at the time of the crash, had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.195%, per The San Francisco Standard. That’s over twice the legal limit for adults in California. Worse yet, it’s nearly 20 times the limit for drivers under the age of 21, the legal drinking age in the United States.
In addition to Dixon’s level of intoxication, Nelson and Tsukahara had BACs of 0.168% and 0.028%, respectively. Moreover, all three teenagers had cocaine in their systems in their blood, according to the toxicology reports.
It’s a tragic and sobering reminder of the deadly impact of drugs and alcohol on drivers. Most states in the country have a legal BAC limit of 0.08% for adult drivers over 21. It’s for good reason, too. Even an ounce of alcohol can slow a driver’s reaction time and compromise the critical decision-making skills that are so vital to driving.
