Bizzare News Stories - Tesla Crash Sends Batteries Flying Into Nearby Homes, Sparking House Fire


 Reposted from Bill Galluccio

An Oregon man managed to walk away from a horrific high-speed crash that sent parts of his car's battery crashing into nearby homes. Authorities said that 21-year-old Dylan Milota was under the influence of marijuana as he sped through the streets of Corvallis at 100 mph in his Tesla Model 3.

Milota lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a power pole and several trees before the mangled car came to a stop on the side of the road. The car's battery pack blew apart in the crash, sending hundreds of flaming-hot pieces of the battery in all directions. Two of the battery cells landed in nearby homes. One of the parts landed on somebody's lap, while the other piece landed in a child's bed, starting a small fire. The child was not in bed at the time.

One of the car's tires also went flying and crashed into the second story of a nearby apartment building. The tire hit the building with enough force to rupture the water pipes in the wall, destroying a bathroom and flooding the downstairs apartment.

"It was a real scary-looking wreck," neighbor Jeffrey Bailes told KPTV. "There were down power lines everywhere. It's a lot of crazy chaos."

Milota left the scene of the accident and was found by officers a few blocks away. He was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. He was not taken to jail but is facing charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants, second-degree criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and reckless driving.

A four-year-old boy was left alone on a school bus in Georgia after falling asleep on his way to school. The bus driver did not realize the boy was still on the bus and returned home after his morning shift.

A couple of hours later, the boy woke up all alone inside the bus, which was parked outside of the driver's home. The boy exited the bus and started wandering the streets when he was spotted by a construction worker who called the police.  

Officers took the boy back to Jefferson Parkway Elementary School and contacted his parents.  

Authorities said the bus driver is not facing any charges following the incident.

"The Newnan Police Department is aware of an incident this morning of a child left on a school bus with no adult supervision. The child was reunited with his mother after officers were called to meet the individuals that located the child walking," the Newnan Police Department wrote on Facebook. "Unless new developments arise, no criminal intent has been determined. No charges have been filed, and Coweta County School System is handling the incident administratively."

Coweta County School System spokesman Dean Jackson said that the bus driver, who has not been identified, was placed on leave while officials investigate the matter.
