Tesla Model 3 Fatal Crash: 82-Year-Old Dies, Is FSD to Blame?
On July 6, 2025, a Tesla Model 3 ran a stop sign in Buena Vista Township, New Jersey, and collided with a Honda Civic, killing its 82-year-old driver Stephen Field. Tesla's data confirmed the driver-assistance system was engaged at the time of the crash. The software version was redacted, but the nature of the accident suggests the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system may have been active.
