Tesla Catches Fire In Crown Heights Over Simchas Bais Hashoeva

by CrownHeights.info

A white Tesla found itself a little hot in the trunk after a fire started while driving through Crown Heights last Thursday.

The coveted car had stopped at the intersection of Eastern Parkway and Kingston Ave around 10:15pm when smoke began to come from the trunk.

Video of the incident was streamed on the Citizen app, showing FDNY firefighters extinguishing the fire with an extinguisher, and disposing of burned items on the side of the road.

It remains unclear what exactly started the fire, or if it was associated with the car itself.
