(KRON) -- A new lawsuit has been filed against Tesla from the 2024 Cybertruck crash in Piedmont that killed three college students. The only survivor of the crash, Jordan Miller, sued Tesla this week in Alameda County Superior Court, according to an announcement by The Veen Firm. The lawsuit allege s that the Cybertruck design trapped its occupants inside a burning vehicle and blocked a pathway to exit, citing the truck's door handles, reinforced windows and "failed electronics." The Cybertruck crashed into a tree in Piedmont and caught fire. The lawsuit claims that the Cybertruck has no exterior door handles and instead relies on electronic buttons -- making it hard for bystanders to perform any kind of rescue.

It relies on electronic buttons powered by the vehicle’s low-voltage electrical system," The Veen Firm announcement reads. The lawsuit alleges that those buttons failed. A friend who was following the car at the time of the crash was not able to open the door to help. Miller said that he suffered catastrophic injuries, including a five-day induced coma, burns to his airways/lungs, surgery to his abdomen, four fractured vertebrae that required spinal fusion and third-degree burns to his left leg and hand. The case, Miller v. Tesla, Inc., was filed in Alameda County Superior Court. This joins the list of lawsuits filed against Tesla pertaining to this Thanksgiving Eve crash. The families of two other victims also filed separate lawsuits last fall. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed by attorneys representing the parents of Krysta Michelle Tsukahara, a 19-year-old college student who was killed in the crash. The second wrongful death lawsuit was filed on behalf of 20-year-old Jack Nelson, who sat next to Tsukahara in the backseat. The Veen Firm's full announcement of the lawsuit can be viewed here. Tesla did not respond to KRON4’s request for comment. ...read more read less
