Tesla makes an agreement in action for manslaughter that supports a sudden acceleration in an accident in Ohio

The company of Elon Musk electric vehicles, Tesla, agreed to resolve an action for manslaughter presented by the lawyers of a man who died in 2021 after his Tesla hit and caught fire near Dayton, Ohio.

Tesla and the real estate lawyers announced the agreement on Monday at the Federal Court of San Francisco, but did not reveal their terms.

The car manufacturer and his lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comments. Todd Walburg, lawyer of the complaints, refused to comment.

Tesla denied any irregularity in case, blaming the driver for the fatal accident. A jury trial was scheduled for April 2026.

The cause of the heritage states that Clyde Leach’s Tesla Model Y suddenly accelerated, left the road and hit a pillar in a service station in Ohio. Leach, 72, died of head injury, burns and other injuries.

“Tesla was aware of the fact that its vehicles including the Y model -, in hundreds of occasions, suddenly accelerated and without explanations,” says the process.

Tesla had said that the Leach model “was from the state -del -art and had no design defects or manufacturing”.

Last year, Tesla solved a cause on a 2018 car accident that killed an Apple engineer after his Model X, operating on automatic driver, diverted by a highway near San Francisco. This agreement was stipulated on the eve of the process.

Other causes against Tesla are underway. In February, the company’s lawyers convinced a Florida Court of Appeal to limit the damages that could be forced to pay in a case of manslaughter, accusing it of erroneously informing the resources of the automatic pilot system.
