also reported that the other driver, a 21-year-old woman operating a blue 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, was determined to be at fault after swerving into Shanahan's lane, resulting in a head-on collision.
So, the folks who live in that area that know these roads....what's the assumption here? I mean from reading that it seems she went straight at him as if this were the film The Happening.
I mean Kyle was reported on his phone....but you would think she would have been too, for this kind of accident to happen. They say it was head-on. So it doesn't look like it was at an intersection.
Anyway there are cameras on a Teslas, so we'll see.
I'll say though what does this say about Teslas that Kyle had these kinds of injuries, and the girl in the Mercedes was injury free. Also I'm curious about Tesla's collision avoidance features... I would think it would at least avoid a straight head-on collision. Maybe the side of the front would get impacted, after turning a bit.
about her car though.. 2025 GLC 300
