SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. — Probable cause documents were filed against the
driver of a Tesla self-driving vehicle that hit and killed a motorcyclist
in a collision the afternoon of Friday, April 19th. The collision occurred
on Eastbound State Route 522 at Fales Road.
The driver was reportedly heading home from lunch and had the Tesla on autopilot while looking at his phone when the Tesla “lurched forward” into the back of 28-year-old Jeffrey Nissen’s motorcycle, pinning Nissen underneath.
Nissen was pronounced deceased on the scene.
