Authorities Rescue Man From Burning Tesla In Caroline County

A Virginia State Trooper, along with numerous unidentified Good Samaritans, helped rescue a 34-year-old Maryland man from a burning Tesla on Friday, Dec. 5th. The crash occurred at 7:00 a.m. on Interstate 95 northbound in Caroline County when a 2024 Tesla Model Y went off of the left side of the road and struck a tree. A state trooper stopped to check on the driver, just as the Tesla caught fire. The Tesla’s doors were locked and would not open. The trooper broke the window of the vehicle, cut the airbag, and with the help of others, pulled the man to safety. He then checked the car for any additional occupants, confirming the driver was the only person in the vehicle. The driver, Foday Kanu, 34, of Upper Marlboro, Md, suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to an area hospital.
