Tesla’s “Futuristic” Door-Handles Blamed for Killing 48-Year-Old Man Trapped in Burning Wreck
23rd October 2019
The door handles on the Tesla Model S are being blamed for the death of a 48 year old man who was involved in a fiery crash earlier this year, according to Bloomberg. A police officer was unable to pull the man to safety from his burning vehicle.
Oman Awan was driving his leased Tesla in February when he lost control of the vehicle on a South Florida parkway and slammed into a palm tree. A police officer who responded to the scene was unable to open the doors to free Awan because the handles were retracted and bystanders were forced to watch “helplessly” as the car filled with smoke and flames, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed in state court in Broward County.
