Elon Musk's Cybertrucks are not as indestructible as the billionaire would like. One of these vehicles, Tesla's flagship, has been involved in a serious accident in California, where it crashed into a wall, resulting in the death of three people and leaving another seriously injured, as reported by Efe.

Authorities in Piedmont, California, received an alert around 3:00 local time (11:00 GMT) about a vehicle that veered off the sidewalk, crashed into a cement wall, and got wedged between the wall and a tree, explained Metropolitan Police Chief Jeremy Bowers in a press conference.

This collision "resulted in the death of three people. One individual is seriously injured and has been taken to a nearby hospital" for medical attention, he added.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, although the area's Fire Chief, Dave Brannigan, mentioned that they are considering the possibility of speeding causing the incident and currently ruling out a mechanical failure.
