Tesla driver dies after crashing into Fremont apartment complex, sparking fire

[Naaperushiva]

FREMONT, Calif. - The driver of a Tesla died after crashing into an apartment building in Fremont on Monday night, forcing evacuations and sparking a fire, officials say.

The Alameda County Coroner on Tuesday identified him as Kamleshkumar Patel, 46, of Fremont.

The deadly accident happened at around 7 p.m. on Warm Springs Boulevard between South Grimmer Boulevard and Tavis Place.

 

Fire department officials said the first floor of the new complex is for commercial tenants and that it's currently empty, so  there was no one inside to be injured. The apartments are upstairs.

The crash caused a fire in the building.

"The vehicle caught fire while it was still in the building, so out of caution we evacuated the entire building for everyone's safety," Fire Battalion Chief Dan Brunicardi said. "Then we decided to pull the vehicle out once we got the fire knocked down enough to pull the vehicle out of the building."

KTVU reached out to the Fremont Police Department for more information but did not immediately hear back.
