Tragedy struck in France as four individuals lost their lives in a fatal car crash involving a Tesla vehicle. The incident occurred near the city of Niort, where the car reportedly hit a road sign and subsequently caught fire.

Local police authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash, which took place on Saturday night. According to Lt. Eric Hoarau, a police spokesman, initial findings suggest that the vehicle veered off the road, as indicated by marks on the ground and a damaged road sign at the scene.

Due to the absence of witnesses, the investigation is proving to be complex. The driver and three passengers in the vehicle suffered fatal injuries and were burnt beyond recognition. Identifying the victims and determining the exact sequence of events leading to the crash are key priorities for the ongoing investigation.

Tesla, the manufacturer of the vehicle involved in the tragic incident, has not yet issued a statement in response to the crash. The authorities continue to work diligently to uncover the full details of the accident and provide closure to the families of the victims.
