A group of five friends were travelling in a Tesla Model Y when they got into an accident and crashed.

According to The Daily Mail, after the car crashed it caught fire and the power went off. As a result, the electronic doors that use a button to open could not open.

One samaritan who saw the incident took a metal pole and broke one of the car's windows and one girl managed to escape. However, her four friends were unlucky - they died in the accident.
