It was Saturday evening around 10pm, three restaurant employees went into one of the client car to “try it out”, the client (65 years old) was clearly speeding, lost control of the vehicle, left the road and hit a traffic sign.
My bet is that all of that has nothing to do with the fact that this was a Tesla, the only difference is the fire but this is the same for every electric vehicle.

i wonder if they were unable to open the doors for some non-tesla related reason such as death
Do you have a source?
None of the articles that I checked this morning had that info.

Here is the information from the local news and pictures of the actual accident location, taken on site rather than stock photos.

Oh good, I finally get to use my high school french:
3 victims worked in a restaurant of the town of Melle, the driver was a client.
Or I’m completely wrong about everything.
No you got it right, kudos to your high school French!

Merci beaucoup.
Tried to use French in Paris but everybody switched to English immediately.
Got to use it a good bit in lille though, that was fun.
Yeah but nobody will click a headline like ‘person killed in car crash after speeding and hitting a traffic sign’
