The parents of a teenager Krysta Tsukahara who was killed in a crash last year involving one of Tesla's Cybertrucks have sued the Elon Musk -owned company, alleging that a design flaw in the vehicle made it nigh impossible for their daughter to escape the crash.

The incident, which took place on 27 November 2024, involved four passengers who were in the Cybertruck when the speeding vehicle driven by an intoxicated driver hit a tree and burst into flames in the Bay Area in San Francisco. Three, including Tsukahara and the driver, perished, leaving only one survivor.

The lawsuit by Tsukahara's parents allege that Musk, the world's richest man , was aware of the flaw for years, but did not move fast enough to fix the problem, giving rise to the situation that left the 19-year-old dead.
