Check Out This Rivian R1T That Crashed Into A Pole: Fire Reported

A brand new Rivian R1T all-electric pickup, one of only about 1,000+ on the roads, crashed into a traffic pole.

According to County News TV, the unfortunate incident happened yesterday (February 9, 2022) in Irvine, California - "on Sand Canyon Avenue at the end of the southbound I-405 Freeway off ramp around 9:54 PM."

The report explains that the driver lost control and crashed into a pole, causing the vehicle to catch fire (quickly extinguished by firefighters, which seems to indicate it was not a battery-related fire). It appears to be a total loss. The driver left the vehicle mostly unscathed.
