The young female driving the Tesla 4-door electric vehicle was stabilized at the scene and then taken to the ER at St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital. Thompson Lane is back OPEN! Murfreesboro Police had Thompson Lane closed for a couple of hours between Lighthouse Baptist Church and Sulphur Springs Road. Murfreesboro Electric Department secured the power lines and got them back in place where the heavy afternoon traffic could again travel the roadway starting around the 5:00 o'clock hour. (photo below) You can see how the power lines were almost touching the roadway. The vehicle in this crash was probably the only one of its kind in Murfreesboro and possibly in the state. It was a current model Tesla Model S, all electric vehicle. The young female driver possibly survived because this car has a 5-star safety rating for front, side or rollover crashes. In checking the Tesla website, they note the high-strength steel and aluminum frame contribute to its crash performance. It appeared that possibly all 8 airbags had opened, plus this is not a lightweight car--it weighs a little less than 5,000 pounds. Before police could release the electric vehicle to be loaded onto the flatbed wrecker, they had to secure information on how to turn off the Tesla Model S. Officials received technical instructions, and the all electric 4-door car was shut down. Using the computer controlled SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system, Murfreesboro Electric was able to divert power sources and return electricity to most residents in the area within a short period of time.
