Sole survivor of fatal Cybertruck crash files lawsuit against Tesla

The sole survivor of a 2024 Cybertruck crash in California has sued Tesla over the incident, which killed three college students who were unable to escape the burning vehicle. Jordan Miller’s complaint alleges that Tesla “consciously disregarded the safety of occupants in Tesla vehicles, and prioritized aesthetics over function” despite having knowledge of the dangers of its door systems. “A vehicle shouldn’t become a trap once you’re in an accident,” said Anthony Label, Miller’s attorney. “There should be a way to get out.” Tesla did not respond to NBC Bay Area’s request for comment on Tuesday.
