A 13-year-old girl in California crashed her parents’ Tesla in an early Tuesday morning collision, police say.
Santa Rosa Police Department reported that officers were dispatched to a major collision at around 4:35 a.m. Tuesday. They found a “severely damaged” Tesla that had just collided with a nearby utility pole near King and Howard streets.
Police found a group of teenagers at the scene. They all had minor injuries but could still get out of the vehicle and walk.
“After speaking with the juveniles, it appears a 13-year-old female had been driving her parents’ Tesla without permission,” Santa Rosa Police Department said in a Facebook post.
