Dad-of-five burned to death in Tesla 'after electric doors locked him inside'
A Davie Police officer investigating the crash said he asked an expert at Tesla about the door handles and was told they are supposed to automatically come out “in the event of a crash and do reliably in minor to moderate crashes,” but the officer wrote: “They did not in this crash.”
According to the report, the expert also explained: “The handles … are electronic and would not operate if power is abruptly cut in the vehicle," adding “there is a mechanical back-up in place that can only be accessed from the inside of the vehicle, which it’s why the company gives training to first responders to break the window and open the vehicle from the inside.”According to the police report, Awan was speeding at the time of the crash, with his car going around 79mph.
But his family are standing firm, and insisting he could have been saved were it not for the car's door handles, which they insist did not function properly. Awan's wife Lianna told NBC South Florida at the time: "He could have been saved. He could have been here. He could have been with us, with his children.A police spokesperson told the news organisation: "They couldn’t find a door knob to try to go in that way and unfortunately were not able to extract the driver.
"They attempted to break the window in order to get the subject out, but were not successful. The flames were too strong, too big at that point."Awan was allegedly speeding at 79mph when he crashed his car
