MARIETTA, Ga. — A Marietta Square restaurant is picking up the pieces after a car smashed into its storefront on Wednesday.
The incident happened at Taqueria Tsunami, after a Tesla drove across the sidewalk and into the business. Marietta Police told 11Alive they responded to the scene, and were told by the driver they had "intended to press the brake pedal and hit the gas instead."
“If you hear popping or whooshing or you have a really bad smell like off-gassing… you should pull over. You should get out; you should move away to a safe distance and definitely call 911,” Lozinsky explained. “You should have a mental game plan if that happens; you should think about seconds not minutes.”
“On a normal traditional vehicle you need one or two firetrucks, but in some EV situations we’re talking for five and six trucks,” Lozinsky said. “Firetrucks typically carry 300 to 500 gallons of water, and if you’re needing thousands, obviously you need much more equipment on scene.”
“It takes upwards of 45 minutes to put out an EV fire, where it may be five or 10 minutes for traditional vehicles,” he added.
He said there is also a danger that a battery fire could reignite after it’s been extinguished.
It was learned that a speeding Tesla crashed into a fire hydrant at Macarthur Boulevard and Grant Lane Road in Tracy at 9.45pm on Friday night, then crashed into a tree and burst into flames.
Behind their car, their other friends were coming in another car, who tried hard to save their friends, but the car got locked and they could not do anything because of the flames.
I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.
