A deadly car crash involving a Tesla Cybertruck has been linked to cocaine and alcohol use, resulting in the deaths of three teenagers in California.
This heartbreaking incident, which occurred last November, took the lives of 19-year-olds Soren Dixon and Krysta Tsukahara, as well as 20-year-old Jack Neslon. The trio had recently graduated from Piedmont High School.
Autopsy Results Reveal Shocking Findings
According to autopsy and toxicology reports, Soren Dixon, who was behind the wheel, had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.195 percent—more than double the legal limit of 0.08 percent for drivers.
Tsukahara’s BAC was found to be 0.028 percent, while Nelson’s was 0.168 percent. Additionally, all three teens had traces of cocaine in their systems at the time of the crash.
The Fatal Crash and Its Aftermath
The fatal crash occurred early in the morning on November 27, 2024, in Piedmont, Alameda County, at approximately 3:08 AM.
Investigators revealed that the Tesla veered off the road, struck a retaining wall, and crashed into a tree before erupting into flames.
The victims tragically succumbed to asphyxia from inhaling smoke due to the fire, while severe burns also contributed to their deaths, as confirmed by the Alameda County Coroner’s Office.
One of the passengers, 20-year-old Jordan Miller, survived but sustained serious burns.
Miller was quickly rescued from the wreckage by a passing motorist, who had been following the Tesla at the time of the crash.
Despite efforts to save him, Miller remained in critical condition and was placed in a medically induced coma.
A Mother’s Heartbreaking Words
In an emotional update shared with DailyMail.com, Miller’s mother, Samantha Miller, described the devastating impact the crash had on their family.
She revealed that her son was still recovering after undergoing several surgeries.
“We’re just taking it day by day,” she said. “It’s a devastating situation.
We’re all thinking about the kids that were lost… They’re not kids anymore, but they still are to us.”
A Heroic Rescue Amid Intense Flames
Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers revealed that another car had been following the Tesla and was the first to come upon the scene of the crash.
The driver of that vehicle attempted to rescue the victims, but the intensity of the fire made it nearly impossible.
“The heat was just too intense,” Bowers explained.
It’s believed that the individuals involved in the crash, including the good Samaritan, may have known each other.
Friends Mourn the Loss of Their Loved Ones
The four young people involved in the crash had been friends since high school and were all in their sophomore year of university.
Bronson Boyle, a close friend and roommate of Dixon at USC, shared a heartfelt tribute on social media, remembering Dixon as the “best roommate and friend” he could have asked for.
Boyle reflected on the time they spent together, saying, “I’ll always remember you as a brother – one who was righteous beyond belief. Rest in peace, man.
I’ll miss ya every day. I’ll raise a glass to you every day forever.”
This tragedy has left an indelible mark on their friends, family, and the communities they were part of, especially in California, where their untimely deaths have become a somber reminder of the dangers of impaired driving and substance abuse.
