Tesla crash that killed a woman under US federal investigation

In a statement given to local media the night of the crash, Sergeant Alex Turman of the Harris County Sheriff's Office said the vehicle "failed to turn right at an intersection and, at a high rate of speed, crashed directly into a house".The 76-year-old woman who was inside the home was struck in the crash and was taken to a hospital, but she died of her injuries, the officer added.In an interview with a local station of CBS, a BBC partner, the woman's daughter said she discovered her mother in the house after the crash.The woman lived with her daughter, son-in-law and their three children, all of whom were also at home at the time of the crash."My mum was such a caring woman," the daughter said in the interview. The driver was also taken to hospital and was cooperating with the investigation into the crash, police said.The police gave no indication of what caused the car to speed off the road and into the home, but Turman did say that one line of investigation by police was the driver's claim that he was driving at the time using an automated driving system."We're still evaluating what caused the car to fail to control its speed just before this crash," he said.
