Tesla employee bus crashes into car, killing off-duty officer in California

A bus carrying Tesla employees crashed into a vehicle on a California highway Friday morning, killing an off-duty law enforcement officer, police said. The bus, which was carrying more than 50 employees of the electric car company, was driving on a freeway east of the Tesla factory in Fremont when it rear-ended a Volkswagen Beetle around 7am, crushing the car and killing the driver, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). One passenger on the bus suffered minor injuries but was treated on the scene, said CHP spokesman Derek Reed. The bus was contracted by Tesla and was driving to Stockton, a city 50 miles east of the company's main facility in Fremont. "We are aware of an accident this morning involving an independently-operated shuttle carrying Tesla employees and another vehicle," the company said in a statement.
