Firefighters said they are trying to figure out the best way to remove the Tesla from on top of the ambulance without rupturing the battery inside the car, which could lead to an uncontrollable fire.
None of the Falck ambulance personnel were in the back lot at the time the Tesla crashed through the fence landing on one of their ambulances.

Makes you yearn for the good old days when SUVs were the evil cars. Headlines were always about an SUV crashing into things and causing trouble.

Looks like pedal misapplication to me. I always wonder if using hold mode leads to more accidents like this since you've got your foot on the accelerator instead of the brake during low speed maneuvering.
