Tragic Cybertruck accident leads to bone-disintegrating fire

Auto Jun 20, 2025

A tragic crash in Texas left Michael Sheehan, 47, dead after his Tesla Cybertruck veered off-road and hit a concrete culvert.
His family is now suing Tesla, saying the truck's electronic doors failed to open during the emergency, trapping him inside.

Sheehan's family claims Tesla prioritized style over safety

The lawsuit claims the Cybertruck's battery overheated to extreme temperatures—enough to destroy bones—because of a "thermal runaway."
Sheehan's family argues that Tesla put style ahead of safety by not fixing these risks.
Since this first fatality, there have been more crashes and eight recalls for the Cybertruck, raising fresh questions about its design.
