Firefighters called to the scene of a fatal Florida collision in May involving a Tesla Model S struggled to extinguish the flames after a battery reignited twice following a high-speed crash, according to a preliminary report released this week by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
An image released by investigators shows the charred remains of the electric car which was "engulfed in flames" after crashing into a wall while traveling south on Seabreeze Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale. According to Tesla data, the vehicle was going 116 miles per hour roughly three seconds before the collision. The driver and the front seat passenger, both 18-years-old males, died at the scene.
