2 killed in fiery solo Tesla crash into tree in Claremont
Two people were killed in a fiery vehicle crash into a tree early Monday in Claremont.
The crash was reported at 2:10 a.m. on East Sixth Street near Mills Avenue, Claremont police and county fire department officials said.
The vehicle, which appeared to be a Tesla, burst into flames after hitting the tree.
The driver was pronounced dead first, and a passenger was found after the flames were put out, according to broadcast reports. One of the victims was identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office as 52-year-old Rasheed Bledsoe. It was unclear if Bledsoe was the driver or passenger.
A hazardous materials team was called in to deal with the vehicle fire and its lithium batteries.
