## Narrative
On Sept. 9th, around 9:05pm, my wife was on the driver's seat, FSD was engaged. so the Tesla model 3 car was driving itself on highway 395 close to susanville. Then suddenly a car coming, we had a head-on collision, the other car's front left hit our front left. The other driver passed away, my wife and I got serious injuries, we are recovering from 3 surgeries.   1.FSD did not give alert or warning,  2.FSD did not break the car,  3.FSD did not slowing down the car 4.FSD did not change direction of the car.  5.FSD just kept the speed and direction.   “Disabling FSD” needs time, my wife did nothing, because there was only few 10th of a second. But I am afraid if she was driving without engaging FSD, she might be able to steer the car slightly to the right to avoid the accident.   CHP will pull data from the car in the next few days.   We would like to request NHTSA has a full investigation of the accident.   Attached please find a form we received from CHP, a picture of both cars, and driving data downloaded from Tesla web site.
