Photos of the scene show the Cybertruck flipped over, with parts and wheels scattered across the street. Although the accident was severe enough to crumple the vehicle, no fatalities occurred. Four people were in the vehicle; three were found inside and rushed to the hospital, while one was ejected and found on the road.
