## Narrative
My mother was involved in a fatal crash on August 30, 2022.  We believe there was something unusual that occurred with the Tesla Model Y as it was on a quiet residential street and the car seems to have accelerated suddenly and she hit a pole.  We are still waiting on the California Highway Patrol report.
