Tesla Crash Kills Driver, Causes Fire in Fremont

A high-speed crash involving a Tesla in Fremont resulted in the death of 46-year-old Kamleshkumar Patel, who collided with an apartment building Monday evening. The crash occurred around 6 PM, leading to a fire that engulfed the first floor of the building, which was vacant at the time. Fire crews extinguished the flames within 20 minutes, and while residents were evacuated due to smoke, no injuries were reported among them. Witnesses claimed the Tesla was traveling at high speeds, possibly up to 100 miles per hour, and investigations are underway to determine if the car was in autonomous mode. The exact cause of the crash remains unclear, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is likely to be involved in the investigation. Authorities closed Warm Springs Boulevard for several hours following the incident.
