Three executives employees from Tesla Motors are dead after a small Cessna airplane crashed into a power line in Palo Alto, California this morning.
It is reported that the plane split in half with one half crashing into a house, and the other into the road. The three executives employees were the only ones on board. No one on the ground was killed or injured in the accident.
We hate to quote Fox News, but given that it’s actually a bit of good news in this tragedy, we’ll add that Fox has reported that founder Elon Musk was not on board the plane.
Tesla Motors is best known for it’s electric vehicle technology and being the among the first to popularize electric vehicles such as the Tesla Roadster.
*UPDATE: It is now being reported that it was ‘mid-level engineers’ that were aboard the plane, not executives.
