A Tesla vehicle crashed into the outdoor dining area of an Urbane Cafe in Simi Valley, California, on Monday afternoon, resulting in one fatality and five injuries, authorities confirmed.

The incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. near the intersection of Tierra Rejada and Madera roads, a location known for its bustling shopping center. The Simi Valley Police Department responded to the scene after receiving reports of the collision.

Aerial footage captured by ABC News’ Los Angeles affiliate KABC showed the white Tesla lodged within the restaurant’s patio space following the impact. The Ventura County Fire Department reported that one individual was pronounced dead at the scene, while five others sustained minor injuries. The identities of the victims have not yet been released.

Authorities have not specified whether any advanced driver-assistance systems were engaged in the Tesla at the time of the crash. The cause of the collision remains under active investigation.

This event follows a similar incident earlier in June, where a Tesla Model 3 crashed into a home in Katy, Texas, leading to a woman's death. The deceased woman's family has since initiated a lawsuit against Tesla and the vehicle's driver, alleging that the car's driver-assistance technology played a role in the fatality. Tesla has contested these allegations, asserting that the driver had manually activated the accelerator.

Federal safety agencies are currently investigating the Texas crash. The details of the Simi Valley incident, including the potential involvement of any vehicle technology, will likely be scrutinized by investigators as they work to determine the contributing factors.

The circumstances surrounding the Simi Valley crash raise further questions about vehicle safety and the integration of advanced driver-assistance features in everyday driving scenarios. The outcome of the ongoing investigations in both Simi Valley and Texas could have significant implications for Tesla and the broader automotive industry.

Further details regarding the victims and the sequence of events leading to the crash are expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
