A US Army soldier has been identified as the driver behind a fatal explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck in Colorado Springs on Monday. According to police reports, the man drove the vehicle into a crowd before it suddenly exploded.
The FBI is investigating the incident and searching his home for potential connections to the blast. The search was conducted hours after the Cybertruck was driven by the soldier through New Orleans, where he had previously driven the vehicle into a crowd of people.
Seven others were injured in the explosion, which has left authorities scrambling to determine the cause. As of now, police have confirmed that the person inside the Cybertruck took his own life, but details surrounding the incident are still under investigation.
