A Tesla Cybertruck overturned after colliding with a Honda Odyssey at the intersection of Benton Road and Washington Street in an unincorporated area of Temecula on Friday afternoon, April 4, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, at around 4:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the scene where the Cybertruck was found overturned in a nearby field and the Honda Odyssey was disabled at the intersection.
The Cybertruck, driven by a 65-year-old Winchester man, had been traveling eastbound on Benton Road at approximately 40 mph and allegedly failed to stop at a posted stop sign before striking the Honda Odyssey, which was traveling southbound on Washington Street. The Odyssey had reportedly stopped at the intersection and proceeded with the right-of-way.
The impact caused the Cybertruck to roll over into an open field, crashing through a barbed wire fence before coming to rest on its roof. A 15-year-old male passenger in the Cybertruck complained of pain but no serious injuries were reported.
All occupants were wearing seatbelts, and no arrests or citations were issued. Everyone involved remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities.
The investigation is ongoing.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
