Tesla Cybertruck catches fire outside Trump hotel in Las Vegas

Описание: One person died and seven more were injured on Wednesday when a Tesla truck caught fire and exploded outside Donald Trump’s Las Vegas hotel, authorities said.

Las Vegas metropolitan police and Clark county fire department officials in Nevada said at a news conference that a person died inside the vehicle.

Another seven people nearby received minor injuries and were taken to a hospital for treatment.

According to a law enforcement official, the truck was rented via the Turo app and appeared to be carrying a large load of fireworks. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

US president Joe Biden said on Wednesday that law enforcement was investigating whether there were any links between a New Orleans truck attack that killed 15 people and the Tesla explosion.
