NTSB Report Reveals Driver Had Moved to Back Seat After Fiery Spring, Texas Crash

On Wednesday, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released an investigative report on the fiery April 17, 2021 crash in Spring, Texas. The report revealed that the 59-year-old Tesla driver had moved to the back seat after the crash, deforming the steering wheel.

The crash had raised questions about whether the car was operating on Tesla’s “Autopilot” partially automated driving system. However, the NTSB determined that the system could not have been used on the street where the crash happened due to lack of lane lines.

The NTSB report also revealed that the driver had been wearing a seatbelt in the back seat, and that the front airbag had deployed. The report did not provide any further information on why the driver had moved to the back seat.

The NTSB is continuing to investigate the crash, and is expected to release a final report in the coming months. The report will include a detailed analysis of the crash and its causes.

The NTSB’s investigation into the crash is ongoing, and the agency is working to determine the cause of the crash and the role of the driver. The agency is also looking into the safety of Tesla’s Autopilot system. The results of the investigation will be released in the coming months.
