WASHINGTON - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it is investigating a fatal Tesla Inc Model S crash in Davie, Florida last Sunday that killed the driver and resulted in a massive vehicle fire, the second fatal crash this week the agency is probing.
A NHTSA spokesman confirmed Saturday the agency has an “ongoing investigation” into the earlier Tesla crash in Davie and “will take additional actions if appropriate.” Tesla did not immediately comment Saturday. NHTSA and NTSB have been investigating a number of crashes since 2017 that focus on two primary issues: the role of Tesla’s driver assistance technology Autopilot in accidents and some significant battery fires in the electric vehicles after crashes, including cases of batteries reigniting after accidents.
NTSB said it is sending a team of three to conduct a safety investigation, while NHTSA said Saturday it is sending a field team.
