A driver in a Tesla on New Hampshire Avenue in Lakewood collided with a car, and then slammed into a tree when the other driver made a u-turn in front of him – reportedly to assist the driver of the stalled vehicle on the shoulder.
The driver of the Tesla suffered severe injuries.

I am trying very hard to understand why would a person assume that it is ok to make a u-turn in the middle of the road in total pitch darkness. Cars do not have lights
on the side, only front and rear. No one can see your car sideways and especially in an area where the lighting is very poor.
ONLY IN LAKEWOOD!!
looks to me like speeding may have been an issue also
can someone explain what this guy was doing? assuming he was sober
That wasn’t a U-turn. That was an act of terrorism.
It seems like he was trying to make a turn to help the car on the side. Probably to give a boost.
ILLEGAL U-Turn.
It was a sharp right turn, without ascertaining that the way was clear and safe . It clearly was not safe!. Both cars turned left with a turning arrow. Definitely Not over the speed limit. But a bad , illegal under the circumstances, right turn, that caused the accident. Install a dual lens dash cam in every one of your vehicles!. Without the camera, the tesla driver might falsely be accused of causing the collision
Unclear what that driver was attempting. Did he want to go the wrong way down NH?
not sure what tesla has to do with this
Since the Tesla has unfiltered internet no matter who seams to be at fault, in reality it is the Tesla’s fault. Same rule applies if the driver has a sheitel that doesn’t have the right criteria.
Maasim b’chol yom… I see people doing chashuv maneuvers like that every day in shtut. Shomer pisa’im HaShem.
How bad was the damage to the Tesla. I hope everyone is ok. But am curious how safe these are. Elon Musk rushed the manufacturing process and I’ve heard that safety issues were overlooked. In other words the body’s are made with low end flammable materials. Not Safe to be speeding in at all. Hopefully everyone is ok and the mayor will make him drive a 1994 Buick from now on.
can i offer you more cool-aid?
Making a u turn ,yup you are at fault ,that’s called careless driving !
