Seven Injured as Car Collides With Pedestrians in England School Car Park
Six children and an adult were taken to hospital with injuries after a car collided with pedestrians in a school car park in southern England on Monday evening, the Sussex Police said.
At least one person was reported to have been pinned under a Tesla Inc. Model 3 in a car park of Ardingly College, the Telegraph, first to report about the incident, said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the detail.
The police said officers responded to reports of a collision involving a blue Tesla car and pedestrians in College Road, Ardingly, shortly after 4.30 p.m. (local time) on Monday.
The driver, a 47-year-old woman who was in the car at the time of the collision, was uninjured, according to the police.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Earlier on Monday, U.S. auto safety regulators opened a formal safety probe into Tesla’s driver assistance system Autopilot after a series of crashes involving Tesla models and emergency vehicles.
