The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation into a crash and fire involving a Tesla (TSLA.O) electric semi-truck on a California highway, the agency said late Wednesday.
The NTSB will carry out the safety investigation along with the California Highway Patrol authority, it said in a post on social media platform X.
The electric vehicle (EV) maker and the California Highway Patrol did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
A Tesla electric semi-truck crashed near Emigrant Cap in northern California late on Monday night after its engine caught fire, closing off a highway for more than half a day, local media reports said, adding that no injuries were reported.
