## Narrative
Vehicle  2022 Tesla Model Y AWD with Long Range Battery (Steel Grey)  VIN: [XXX]   License Plate: [XXX]   State: CA  Production Date: 03/2022  Incident Date/Time: September 20, 2025 ~7:30 AM Location: [City, CA]  Description: While using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD), the vehicle approached a construction zone with a red light. The car slowed as if preparing to stop, then suddenly veered toward the side of the road and struck a construction barrier/pole.  The maneuver was unexpected and occurred too quickly to prevent impact. This raises concerns about FSD’s ability to handle construction zones, traffic signals, and obstacles.  Injury/Property Damage:  Vehicle declared a total loss.  Driver sustained neck and back injuries.  Request: I am reporting this as a potential safety defect and request NHTSA investigate whether Tesla’s FSD has deficiencies in detecting/handling construction zones and signals in these conditions.  Complainant contact: [XXX]  Phone: [XXX]  Email: [XXX]  INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
