Earlier this week, a 40-year-old woman was fatally struck by a Tesla in Kearny Mesa. According to ABC San Diego News Channel 10, the incident happened on Tuesday morning, just before 8:30 a.m. Apparently, the Tesla ran a red light on Othello Avenue at the intersection of Convoy Street. The pedestrian was reportedly crossing the street when she was struck by the Tesla.  

First responders rushed to the scene. The injured pedestrian was transported to a local hospital, but she did not survive her injuries. At this time, there has been no word on what citations or charges the driver is facing or if any autopilot features were being utilized at the time of the wreck, and this fatal Tesla crash is likely still under investigation by local law enforcement officials.
