DOWNTOWN, BROOKLYN — A Tesla appeared to have crashed into a cop car while driving in Downtown Brooklyn on Friday afternoon, according to photos and officials.
Photos taken by a passerby showed a white Tesla stopped in the middle of the Dekalb and Flatbush avenues intersection perpendicular to an NYPD SUV, which appeared to have damage on its side. The passerby said it looked like the Tesla had T-boned the cop car from the way they were positioned, but that they didn't see the crash itself.
