BEIJING (Reuters) – After local media reported that two people were killed and three were injured when the driver lost control of the vehicle, U.S. automaker Tesla (TSLA.O) said on Sunday that it will help Chinese police investigate an incident involving one of its Model Y cars.
According to Jimu News, who posted a video of the high-speed car collision into other cars and a bicycle on November 5 in the southern province of Guangdong, two people were killed: a motorcycle and a high school student.
Elon Musk’s electric vehicle manufacturer warned against believing “rumours” in a message to Reuters on Sunday. “Police are currently seeking a third party appraisal agency to identify the truth behind this accident, and we will actively provide any necessary assistance,” the message from Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker read.
