Biker hit by Tesla after system failed to kick in
Leicester Mercury
|October 08, 2025
CAR DID NOT STOP DUE TO SOFTWARE UPDATE ON AVOIDANCE TECH
A MOTORCYCLIST was left with a broken collarbone after he was hit by a Tesla car.
The vehicle driven by Sarah Clarke came with collision avoidance systems, but these failed to activate after she did not spot the bike.
The incident happened on Thursday, April 10 in Loughborough when Clarke had been pulling out into Royland Road from the Browns Lane junction.
The 57-year-old had not seen the biker as she pulled out, but her Tesla, fitted with collision avoidance systems, should have kicked in and prevented the collision, but didn't.
The resulting impact knocked the rider off his bike, leaving him with a broken collarbone and bruising to his shoulder, chest and leg.
