AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/09 Report--

A Mr. Jiang from Linhai City, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, drove a Tesla electric sedan on the evening of June 4, accompanied by a friend who planned to swim in a nearby reservoir. Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell into the river while driving.

It is understood that when Mr. Jiang was driving the vehicle, he wanted to throw cigarette butts out of the window and was blown back into the car by the wind. When he bowed his head and prepared to pick them up again, the vehicle deviated due to distracted driving and rushed into the creek pit on the roadside.

Finally, the police contacted the relevant rescue team and hoisted the car up. After preliminary identification by relevant personnel, the Tesla electric car worth more than 600,000 yuan cannot be repaired due to water in the computer board and will reach the scrapping standard.

Later, the owner said that this is not his own car, before his Land Rover and Tesla owners friends want to open, so the car performance is not very well understood, when preparing to pick up cigarette butts also do not know that the car is driving so fast, did not control, into the river.

According to the traffic police, this is a village road path, no street lights are very dark, driving through such a road section should concentrate, distracted driving, no accident is strange. Fortunately, this accident was fortunate that the water surface of the creek pit was not deep, so the car was not completely submerged, and the door could still be pushed open. Otherwise, the computer board of a purely electric car would be flooded, the windows would lock, and the doors would be pressurized. Even if the two people in the car were expert swimmers, there was a possibility that they would die of drowsiness.

Therefore, there are also many netizens said, driving should not smoke, should concentrate on driving; because a cigarette butt does not have a Tesla, this netizen or more understand the driving rules. Otherwise, it is like that sentence: "Ten million roads, safety first, driving is not standardized, and relatives cry twice."
