Accident in Pasadena
In the quiet city of Pasadena, the early hours of Saturday were marked by a tragic accident that left the community in shock. At approximately 2:38 a.m., a Tesla Model 3, carrying six occupants, lost control and crashed into a vacant building on the 2300 block of Foothill Boulevard. The force of the impact was such that three young people, aged between 18 and 21, lost their lives instantly, while three other occupants, two women and one man, were urgently transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
Authorities quickly mobilized to the scene of the accident, closing surrounding streets for several hours to conduct a thorough investigation. According to statements from Lieutenant Anthony Russo of the Pasadena Police Department, excessive speed and possibly alcohol consumption are suspected to have been contributing factors in the tragic incident. Additionally, the hypothesis has been raised that the vehicle's autopilot may have been engaged at the time of the crash, prompting investigators to delve further into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The impact of the accident was not limited solely to the collision site but also caused widespread power outages in the area, leaving approximately 500 homes and businesses without electricity. Meanwhile, the Pasadena community mourns the loss of three young lives and awaits the outcome of ongoing investigations to clarify the details of this tragic event.
