Door Handles Blamed for Death in Fiery Wreck |
|
The
futuristic door handles on Tesla Model S are being blamed for a fatal crash in
which a police officer was unable to pull a man to safety from his burning
car. Omar Awan, a 48-year-old anesthesiologist lost control on a south Florida
parkway and the car slammed into a palm tree, according to a wrongful death
lawsuit filed in state court in Broward County. A police officer couldn't open
the doors because the handles were retracted and bystanders watched helplessly
as the car filled with smoke and flames, according to the complaint, which
alleges the fire originated with the car's battery.
