Tesla (TSLA.O) said on Sunday that it will assist Chinese police in their investigation into an incident involving one of its Model Y vehicles, following allegations that two people died and three were injured when the driver lost control of the vehicle.
The tragedy occurred on November 5 in the southern province of Guangdong, killing a motorcyclist and a high school girl, according to Jimu News, which posted a video showing a car driving at high speeds and colliding with other vehicles and a bicycle.
‘Police are presently seeking a third party assessment agency to determine the truth behind this accident, and we will aggressively provide any necessary support,’ Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company said in a statement to Reuters on Sunday, cautioning against trusting ‘rumours.’
China is Tesla’s second-largest market, and the crash was one of the top trending topics on Weibo on Sunday.
