Two federal agencies have dispatched teams to investigate a fatal accident involving a Tesla Model 3 in Delray Beach, Fla., on Friday. Images from WPTV show the red sedan sitting on the median of the divided road with a sheet covering its cabin. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are now collaborating with local authorities to investigate the crash. The circumstances surrounding the accident are similar to those of a fatal 2016 crash in Gainesville, Fla., where a Tesla Model S set to Autopilot failed to recognize a white tractor-trailer that was crossing a divided highway in front of it, killing its driver, Joshua Brown, 40. NHTSA is also investigating a fatal Feb. 24 Model S crash in Davie, Fla., that resulted in a fire and the vehicle’s battery reigniting several times following the accident, according to Reuters.
