Video Captures Tesla Driving in Wrong Direction and Colliding Head-On with Dump Truck

In Scottsdale, Arizona, a harrowing traffic accident was caught on dash cam, showing a white Tesla veering into oncoming lanes and striking a dump truck head-on. The crash sent at least two individuals to the hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

The footage reveals the Tesla crossing two lanes of traffic before colliding with the truck, which then struck a nearby car and crashed into a concrete barrier of an assisted-living facility. Authorities reported that the Tesla was initially traveling east on Cactus Road before moving into the westbound lanes, directly causing the collision.

The impact caused the dump truck, loaded with over 20 tons of rocks, to sideswipe a Nissan Maxima and crash through the residential wall of the facility, leaving a significant hole. Witnesses described the moment as explosive. One resident recalled, It sounded like a bomb. I immediately went to move the patients to safety.

Both drivers received medical attention, and the Tesla operator was cited for driving on the wrong side of the road and failing to maintain control. Investigators confirmed that impairment was not a factor in the accident.
