Cybertruck crash that killed three college students blamed on booze, drugs, speeding driver

The Tesla Cybertuck crash that killed three college students heading home for Thanksgiving was caused by the driver speeding while drunk and on cocaine, according to a new report on the investigation.Soren Dixon, 19, Jack Nelson, 20, and Krysta Tsukahara, 19, all had alcohol, cocaine and other substances in their system when they died in the Nov.27 wreck while heading home from a party near their homes in Piedmont, close to San Francisco, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) said.The driver, Dixon, had a BAC of 0.195% — more than twice the legal limit — when the Tesla truck drove off the road, smashed into a retaining wall and burst into flames, the investigation confirmed.“Officers determined that a combination of driving under the influence of drugs and unsafe speed were the causes” of the crash, CHP confirmed in the preliminary report.A fourth occupant, 20-year-old Jordan Miller,  survived the crash when another driver pulled him from the burning Tesla, but he suffered serious burns.All four were graduates of Piedmont High School who were home from college for the short holiday break, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday.The three died from asphyxia due to smoke inhalation in the car — and burns were also a  “significant” factor in their deaths, which were ruled accidental, according to the autopsy report.Police officers who responded to the crash were unable to put out the flames until firefighters arrived.Piedmont Fire Chief Dave Brannigan said the day after the crash that the speed in extinguishing was indicative that the Cybertruck’s large lithium-ion battery had not caught fire, describing the incident as  “more along the lines of a typical car fire.”The investigation into the crash is ongoing, and a final report is expected in the coming months.With Post Wires...
