“We stopped at the stop sign at the intersection of Route 156 with Route 158 and suddenly we were hit head on by a white Jeep Wrangler Rubicon whose driver took a high speed right turn coming downhill from the ski resort. After the hard impact of our Tesla 3 with the Jeep, I found myself challenged to maintain control of the car heading towards hills edge, then towards the ditch. I managed to stop it shortly and then I reversed it to the accident site, at the intersection. In the meantime, the Jeep Wrangler’s driver took advantage of the situation and left the scene of the accident, leaving us in pain and with a destroyed car. Thank you very much for everybody’s understanding and support.”
