One person is dead and seven others were injured when a Tesla Cybertruck caught fire infront of Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on Wednesday morning, according to officials.

The Las Vegas Police Department is investigating a vehicle fire that occurred this morning outside hotel, located near S. Sammy Davis Jr. Drive and Fashion Drive.

According to a social media post from the police department, a vehicle fire happened at the entrance to the hotel.

Clark County Fire Department Deputy Chief Thomas Touchstone said crews, along with the Las Vegas police and Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, responded to the scene about four minutes after receiving reports of a fire at the hotel.

In another post on X, President-elect Trump’s son, Eric Trump, posted a statement about the incident.

“Earlier today, a reported electric vehicle fire occurred in the porte cochère of Trump Las Vegas,” Eric wrote. “The safety and well-being of our guests and staff remain our top priority. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Las Vegas Fire Department and local law enforcement for their swift response and professionalism.”

Police did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for more information.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to the vehicle fire on X.

“The whole Tesla senior team is investigating this matter right now,” he wrote. “Will post more information as soon as we learn anything. We’ve never seen anything like this.”

FOX 5 in Las Vegas reported that smoke could be seen coming from the tower in video obtained by the outlet. The station also reported that it obtained video from a view that suggests fireworks may have been inside the vehicle, which was a Tesla Cybertruck.
