Palo Alto police are investigating a fatal one-car collision on the Oregon Expressway.
On Sunday (Aug. 16) at 11:49 p.m., police dispatchers received a call about a major collision that had just occurred on Oregon Expressway in the underpass of Alma Street.
Officers responded and found a man in his 50s unconscious in a sedan. The man was extricated from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the man’s sedan was traveling westbound on Oregon Expressway and, according to witnesses, collided with the walls of the underpass as it was travelling through it.
Personnel from the Police Department’s Specialized Traffic Accident Reconstruction (STAR) team responded to the scene to continue the investigation.

Was it a Tesla driving in FSD?
No it was a man I worked with at the WeHope shelter in EPA his name is Chris and was driving a 90s model Buick I believed it was could of been a Pontiac Bonneville
That’s a good question. A young lady with a new Tesla veered off California Ave and collided with my folks’ Lexus that was parked on the street with nobody in it. The young lady said that she “thought” she was in FSD when the car veered off the road and hit our parked car. Both cars were not driveable after that collision. My friend with a Tesla said there are spots where the car does phantom braking while in FSD on Alma St. He said it consistently happens in the same spot and there is no explanation for the car braking there. That bug has not been fixed as of yet.
How many drivers & passengers have been tragically killed inside Tesla vehicles due to the vehicle having a dysfunctional mind of its own? Any public records available for scrutiny that shed some light on this, or has this too been covered up like the Trumpstein files?
