Tesla loses control and kills two people as driver claims 'brakes weren't responding'

Two people were killed and a further three injured when an out of control Tesla ploughed through a city's streets before slamming into a small truck and crashing into a building in a cloud of smoke.

Footage of the incident, which took place on November 5 in Chaozhou, China, shows the white Model Y vehicle careen at high speed through the busy area after its driver seemingly encountered problems trying to park.

The car can be seen slowly pulling into a roadside parking spot before suddenly accelerating back onto the road, reaching its maximum speed of 150km/h during the wild ride.
