A stunning crash in Piedmont that killed three college students, leaving a third with severe injuries, has triggered deep suspicion of the vehicle involved: a Tesla Cybertruck, the electric pickup with a space-age look — and a history of engineering mishaps.

The Piedmont High School graduates were killed when the truck they were driving crashed at Hampton Road between Sea View and King avenues about 3 a.m. Wednesday. The truck caught fire after the crash and one person, who has not been identified, was pulled by a passerby and taken to a hospital.

The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration is in the process of reviewing details about last week's fatal Tesla Cybertruck crash in the Northern California city of Piedmont that left three young adults dead and a fourth critically injured.
