This is very tedious. Cars catching fire after smashing into fixed objects isn't new or special and the only newsworthy thing it could have done, cause an un-extinguishable lithium battery fire, evidently didn't happen as the fire service put it out. Unless it was on autopilot, but that wasn't mentioned at all.
That's shockingly common with almost all reports of drivers crashing into things. It takes the agency away from the driver and pushes the narrative that "accidents happen".
> One was an attempt to shape news coverage of car accidents. The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, an industry group, established a free wire service for newspapers: Reporters could send in the basic details of a traffic accident and would get in return a complete article to print the next day. These articles, printed widely, shifted the blame for accidents to pedestrians — signaling that following these new laws was important.
It didn't really read that way to me, reads more that they're just reporting the facts they have. A Tesla car crashed into a building, caught fire, and the was put out. The root cause of the crash isn't known right now and will be the subject of the investigation.
