Mother of five, 41, Killed in Tesla crash that went up in flames: Firefighters say Vehicle's Battery Kept Reigniting making it hard to stop the blaze and poured water on it for hours
An Ohio mother of five was killed early Monday morning after her Tesla crashed into a pole and overturned, then went up in flames and the electric battery kept reigniting, as firefighters are warning drivers about the dangers of such fires.
Christy Corder, 41, crashed her Model Y near Merwin Elementary School in Mason, about 22 miles from Cincinnati, on November 8. The school in the area shut down the following day due to the accident.
Corder's car hit a pole and a tree before overturning into what appeared to be a front yard on Gaskins Road and Red Fox Drive, police said. Her car caught fire with the tree crushing the vehicle, trapping Corder inside.
Firefighters were still pouring water onto the vehicle hours after the crash, which is not uncommon with a Telsa - as it takes 40 times more water to stop the fire than a normal gasoline-burning car.
