Watch A Tesla Get Hit By Honda CR-V That Blows Through Red Light
That's a violent collision, but it seems that luckily everyone was okay.
It seems this Honda CR-V driver blew through an intersection (and a red light) and then violently collided with a Tesla.
With TeslaCam always on, we constantly see more and more footage of what appears to be poor driving. This particular instance is a bit difficult to completely make sense of, but it appears as though the Honda CR-V runs the light (according to the various video descriptions and seen in the Tesla Crash Front video) and then violently strikes the Tesla.
Over on YouTube, where the video originates, there's additional info to go on and there are more videos from different angles. Watch all of the video footage above and below and then drop a comment to let us know your take on the situation.
