A stunning crash in Piedmont that killed three college students, leaving a fourth with severe injuries, has triggered deep suspicion of the vehicle involved: a Tesla Cybertruck, the electric pickup with a space-age look — and a history of engineering mishaps.

The Piedmont High School graduates were killed when the truck they were driving crashed at Hampton Road between Sea View and King avenues about 3 a.m. Wednesday. The truck caught fire after the crash and one person, who has not been identified, was pulled by a passerby and taken to a hospital.

The mother of the survivor of Wednesday morning's horrific Tesla Cybertruck crash in the East Bay town of Piedmont that left three young adults from the East Bay community dead on Friday identified her son and the three other victims.
