we drove past it but my camera failed and it wasn't very visible from a dirt road that goes by there
the really odd thing is the mess is in the left/inside lane.

(56,050 posts)8. there has been an update to the twitter thread
UPDATE: We can confirm the driver indicated to troopers the Tesla was on autopilot at the time of the collision. Additionally, the driver, a 23-year-old male from Irvine, CA, is being investigated for DUI. He remains in the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
can you DUI if you are not driving?
