There are not a lot of Tesla Roadster on the road, so whenever one of them happens to crash, it will make headline news. The crashed Tesla Roadster featured here was driven by the sales director for Tesla. The driver took an unnamed passenger for a demonstration drive, somewhere in southern France on Wednesday, the 29th of October.

The report said that he was going around 160km/h when he tried to make a turn which ended up in what we see in the images below. It was said that the wet roads and poor visibility contributed to the accident.

The crash was pretty serious and the passenger was ejected from his seat upon impact, both of the people in the car managed to escape from the accident alive, and the sales director had a broken hand, some bruises and a lot of explaining to do.

The passenger was recently released from hospital.
