(Reuters) – Tesla, Elon Musk’s car manufacturer for electric vehicles, agreed to resolve a measure for murder submitted by the lawyers in a man who died in 2021 after his Tesla met and took fire near Dayton, Ohio. Tesla and real estate lawyers announced the agreement on Monday at the Federal Court of San Francisco, but did not reveal the conditions.
The car manufacturer and her lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comments. Todd Walburg, lawyer for the plaintiffs, refused to comment.

Tesla denied any irregularity in the case and blamed the driver of that fatal accident. A jury test was planned until April 2026.
The atmosphere of the property states that Clyde Leach’s Tesla model suddenly accelerated, left the road and hit a pillar at a gas station in Ohio. Leach, 72, died of main trauma, burns and other injuries.
“Tesla was aware that its vehicle – including the model Y – hundreds of occasions suddenly accelerated and without explanation,” says the process.

Tesla had stated that Leach’s model “was the condition of the generation and had no design errors or manufacture.”

Last year, Tesla solved a mood for a car accident in 2018 that killed an Apple engineer after her Model X, who worked on Autopilot, declined from a highway near San Francisco. This agreement was made before the trial.

Other moods against Tesla are waiting. In February, the company’s lawyers convinced an appeal court in Florida to limit the damage that it could be forced to pay in a murder case, and accused the wrongly informed resources in the autopilot system.
