Pennsylvania State Police Cite Tesla Owner for Careless Driving

NHTSA said it’s “collecting information” from state police, the automaker and the driver to ascertain “whether automated functions were in use at the time.”

Property Casualty 360 reported that Pennsylvania State Police have cited the driver of a Tesla Motors Inc. sport utility vehicle with careless driving involving a July 1st crash.

Michigan driver Albert Scaglione, 77, suffered injuries when his 2016 Tesla Model X SUV struck a concrete median strip on a Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bedford County and rolled onto its roof, coming to rest in the middle of the roadway.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that it’s “collecting information” from state police, the automaker and the driver to ascertain “whether automated functions were in use at the time.” The Detroit Free Press had quoted a police officer saying the driver told him the so-called Autopilot system was engaged when the accident occurred.
