VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) – The driver of a Tesla was killed after slamming into a semi-truck Tuesday night.
The crash was reported at 8:04 p.m. in front of the Food4Less grocery store located on the 16200 block of Bear Valley Road and 5th Avenue.
Firefighters with the Victorville Fire Department and deputies with the Victorville Police responded and found the Tesla with major damage.
The force of the collision caused the blue Tesla to become lodged underneath the semi-truck, lifting the rear tires of the semi-truck off the ground.
