Tesla (TSLA) is facing a special crash investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after a Model 3 slammed into a house near Houston last week, killing one person, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing the auto-safety regulator.
The driver told law enforcement he was using Tesla's automated driving assistance system when the crash occurred, according to a statement by the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the media outlet added.
Tesla and NHTSA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
