13-Year-Old Crashes Parents' Tesla, Is 'Miraculously Uninjured': PD

SANTA ROSA, CA — A 13-year-old girl crashed her parents' Tesla early Tuesday in Santa Rosa while driving around with two friends in the car, police said.

Officers were sent to 729 King St. shortly after 4:30 a.m. Tuesday on a report of a major collision. Fire and medical personnel also responded to the scene where a severely damaged black Tesla was found.

The Tesla appeared to have collided with a utility pole, Santa Rosa police Sgt. Summer Gloeckner said.

There were three juveniles at the crash site.

"Miraculously, all had only minor injuries and were out of the Tesla and walking," Gloeckner said.

After speaking with the trio, it was determined a 13- year-old girl drove her parents’ Tesla without their permission and lost control of the car when she hit a dip on King Street, the sergeant said.

In addition to a utility pole, she hit three parked cars and a street sign with the Tesla.

Officers notified the parents of the 13-year-old driver and of the two passengers. Police were still investigating whether alcohol was involved or if there were any other factors or people involved.

PG&E responded to inspect the utility pole. There was no immediate indication that the crash caused any power outages.

Police asked anyone with information about the incident to contact Officer Ashley Odetto at the Santa Rosa Police Department.
