A Tesla Inc electric car that “no one” appeared to be driving crashed late April 17 in Texas, erupting into flames and killing the two passengers, according to local authorities.

One victim was found in the front passenger seat of a 2019 Model S and the other was in the rear, Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said in a telephone interview. The car ran into a tree in the Carlton Woods subdivision near The Woodlands after travelling at high speed and failing to navigate a turn.
