MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Video shows the moment deputies say a drunken Tesla Cybertruck driver barreled into two other vehicles, causing a deadly crash in southwest Miami-Dade.

A police report says Dayron Ramirez-Mesa, 21, was driving the Cybertruck shortly after 8 a.m. on Dec. 14.

Investigators say he was speeding in the area of Southwest 56th Street and 122nd Avenue when he ran the red light, hitting two vehicles that had a green light and were making a left turn at the intersection.

Authorities say shortly after the crash, one of the other drivers, Dayana Abreu Perez, died of her injuries.

The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office released three new angles of the incident, revealing the reckless driving in real time.

A rearview angle shows the Cybertruck zipping past several cars seconds before the crash.

Another shows the aftermath, with parts flying and a tire rolling down the street.

Investigators say data shows that three seconds before the impact, Ramirez-Mesa was going 97 mph, more than double the posted speed limit of 40 mph.

Investigators say all three blood samples collected from Ramirez-Mesa after the crash came back above Florida’s legal limit.

He’s scheduled to appear in court in late May.
