A Tesla car rammed into a tow truck in Moscow, Russian broadcaster Zvezda reported on Sunday, publishing footage of the incident. The video shows how the electric car collides with a truck that was by the side of a highway with its hazard lights on.
Then the Tesla swerves and abruptly blocks the road, almost causing another crash with a next car in line.
A separate video shows the electric car catching fire and exploding in mere seconds. According to preliminary reports, the vehicle was on autopilot during the incident.
