US EditionCHP Finds Drunk Driving, Not EV Malfunction, Caused San Carlos Highway Crash
California Highway Patrol arrested the Mustang Mach-E driver on suspicion of driving under the influence after a crash that caused a smaller car to roll over, police said.
- On August 13, 2025, a green Ford Mustang Mach-E veered into a red Mitsubishi Mirage on US-101 southbound near Holly Street in San Carlos, California.
- Against early theories of a BlueCruise malfunction, California Highway Patrol said the Mustang Mach-E was not in autonomous mode and the driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
- The TikTok video shows the Mach-E dragging against a K-Rail barrier with hazard lights flashing before veering into a Mirage, posted Thursday and nearly 750,000 views.
- With airbags deployed, the scene ended as both drivers escaped without serious harm, and CHP reminded motorists to report dangerous driving by calling 9-1-1.
- When the barrier impact failed to trigger emergency braking, commenters raised EV safety concerns, with Carscoops noting, 'In critical situations like this, drivers can attempt an emergency stop by repeatedly pressing the parking brake button, though it's unknown whether that was tried.
