Hurricane Eliot left a trail of disruption across the United States, and footage of the aftermath continued to emerge from various communities. One incident involved a driver who parked a Tesla on a roadside, seemingly unaware of the risk that lay ahead. The driver stepped away, and the sedan rested on icy pavement for a tense ten seconds before it began to roll again, catching many by surprise.
The car’s rear wheels failed to turn, yet the vehicle still barreled toward a parked police SUV. In a startling and almost surreal moment, the Tesla tipped onto its side just as it connected with the stationary vehicle, then settled back onto its frame with a subtle scrape. The scene drew attention not only for the strange dynamics of the crash but also for the way electric cars respond to slick surfaces and sudden moves on quiet streets.
The car was dragged along the street before a loud roar echoed and nearby power lines trembled with the impact. Fortunately, reports indicated that no injuries were sustained, though the event sparked a flurry of online discussions. Commenters noted that when parking, turning the wheels toward the curb can sometimes prevent a vehicle from slipping into obstacles, yet this particular incident underscores how unpredictable road conditions can be and why cautious parking remains essential for all drivers, including those behind the wheel of electric models.
