Runaway truck reportedly triggered chain-reaction crash in Silver Spring, MD. Tesla Cybertruck was torn apart, separating the bed from the truck’s cab area. 10 people suffered minor injuries and were hospitalised, including three children. We’ve seen Tesla Cybertrucks in all kinds of trouble, from minor fender benders to getting beached or rolling over on trails. One even drove into an empty swimming pool . But a Cybertruck being split cleanly into two pieces after a multi-vehicle crash is probably the most visually extreme Cyber-related accident we’ve come across so far. The incident unfolded Saturday afternoon in Silver Spring, Maryland, where a moving truck reportedly lost control and plowed into a line of traffic. By the time emergency crews reached the scene, numerous vehicles had been damaged and one Cybertruck had been transformed into something that looked less like a pickup and more like a cutaway auto show display.

A Florida retiree opened her mail to a plate reading SQZ A55. The double fives read as a double S from any real distance. Friends and family convinced her to keep the plate for some laughs. We’ve all come across questionable custom license plates over the years, but rarely does the state’s motor vehicle department handle the dirty work on your behalf, sparing you the trouble of dreaming up something regrettable yourself. Yet, that’s exactly what happened to Nancy Dello Stritto, a 77-year-old retiree living in a quiet Pompano Beach senior community in South Florida, who never asked for any of it. When Nancy opened her mailbox expecting a routine vehicle registration renewal, she was greeted instead by a brand new plate reading “SQZ A55.” The trouble with that string of characters is that from a distance, the double fives look almost identical to a double “S,” spelling out a highly suggestive command.
