A family of 4 in a Tesla survived a 76 meter fall from a cliff. For the emergency services, it is a “true miracle” that all the passengers survived this very spectacular accident.
It’s a real miracle. A Tesla with a family of 4 fell off a 76 meter high cliff in California. All passengers survived. Even the rescuers do not return. When they saw the state of the electric car down the road, they had little hope. What was their surprise when they realized that the passengers were alive.
Accidents involving Tesla cars are often highly publicized, such as the out-of-control Model Y that killed 2 and injured 3 in China. Nevertheless, we don’t yet know what caused the car to fall off the cliff. We will have to wait for the expert to know if the car had a malfunction in autopilot mode.

The Tesla was reduced to a pulp, but the two children suffered only minor to moderate injuries
According to reports from local authorities, the electric car left the road before falling from the top of the cliff. The Tesla fell 76 meters high. The car was completely mush, but the passengers miraculously all survived. There was two adults and two children aged 9 and 4 aboard the Tesla.
As you can see in the videos, the rescue operation was particularly complicated because of the environment and bad weather. The two children were extracted first from the wreckage of the car. According to the relief, they suffer mild to moderate injuries. The two adults were more seriously injured. Several helicopters were deployed to the scene to extract them from the damaged Tesla. They were then immediately transported to a trauma center where they are currently being treated for their more critical injuries.
Emergency services unfortunately often intervene on this California road
Brian Pottenger, a firefighter dispatched to the scene, said: we come here unfortunately too often for things like that. And it was nothing less than a miracle that they survived “. The family was actually driving on a dangerous road where fatal accidents are frequent. This is also the reason why Waze wants to warn drivers who drive on dangerous roads with a high accident rate.
We don’t know yet the precise circumstances of the accident, but Robin Johnson who is a witness claims that the car seemed to be going too fast. He saw the vehicle leave the road and fall into a void. According to him, the Tesla was driving extremely fast to take this exit “.
