LAS VEGAS — The Tesla Cybertruck that caught fire and exploded outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday, killing the sole occupant, was rented in Colorado and driven to Nevada, according to Kevin McMahill, sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
McMahill said investigators were able to track the truck’s journey from Colorado to Las Vegas as the driver stopped at charging stations along the route.
The truck was rented via the Turo app. However, it’s unclear where in Colorado the Tesla was rented.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and Clark County Fire Department officials told a news conference that a person died inside the futuristic-looking pickup truck and they were working to get the body out. Seven people nearby had minor injuries and several were taken to a hospital.
