The Tesla Model Y rollover accident that occurred in China
According to new car safety ratings agencies such as Euro NCAP and the US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Tesla vehicles are safe. The battery pack on the floor becomes part of the sturdy vehicle body and protects occupants in various collision situations, including frontal and side collisions.
The Model Y, very popular in South Korea, has a front seat occupant protection score of 97 out of 100 based on Euro NCAP. This exceeds the 94 points of the Model S tested in Euro NCAP. Recently, a major accident occurred in China in which a Tesla Model Y vehicle overturned, and it became a hot topic because its surprising level of safety was proven.

Both passengers were conscious and unharmed
Their lives are not in danger
Because it was such a significant accident, it was expected that the occupants would be seriously injured or killed, as well as considerable damage to life and property. Surprisingly, the woman in the driver’s seat and the man in the passenger seat were found intact. Both people were seen to be bleeding, and the female driver was moaning in pain but did not lose consciousness.
The man in the passenger seat is seen using his cell phone as if trying to report it to the rescue team, as citizens passing by did not provide any relief measures. According to local media reports, among the passengers, a woman suffered severe injuries, and a man sustained minor injuries. In addition, two passers-by nearby were reported to have suffered minor injuries. It is said that the severe injuries are not life-threatening, and all are currently receiving treatment.
