The tragic Tesla Cybertruck crash in California that resulted in the deaths of three teenagers has been linked to a dangerous combination of cocaine and alcohol.

The crash last November killed Soren Dixon, 19, Jack Neslon, 20, and Krysta Tsukahara, 19, who graduated from Piedmont High School in 2023.

The driver of the vehicle, Dixon, was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.195 percent, which is more than twice the legal limit for drivers (.08 percent), according to autopsy and toxicology reports.

Autopsy results also showed that Tsukahara had a blood alcohol content of 0.028 percent, while Nelson’s was at 0.168 percent. Additionally, all three victims tested positive for cocaine in their systems.

The vehicle crashed around 3:08 am on November 27, 2024, in Piedmont in Alameda County. 

During a preliminary investigation, Piedmont Police Chief Jeremy Bowers said the Cybertruck veered off the road, hit a retaining wall and crashed into a tree before bursting into flames. 

Their deaths, ruled an accident, were caused by asphyxia due to inhalation of smoke from the car fire, according to an autopsy report obtained by the SF Chronicle

The Alameda County Coroner’s Office said that burns were a ‘significant’ condition contributing to each of their deaths, the outlet reported.

One passenger, 20-year-old Jordan Miller, was pulled alive from the SUV but seriously burned. The three others were pronounced dead at the scene. 

Miller was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in a medically induced coma. 

His mother, Samantha Miller, told DailyMail.com in December that he had been in ‘critical’ condition following several surgeries. 

She further told CBS News at the time: ‘We’re just taking it day by day. As you would expect, it’s a devastating situation and, you know, we’re all thinking about the kids that were lost.’ 

‘They’re not kids anymore, but they still are to us,’ she added. 

Police chief Jeremy Bowers said another car had been trailing the Tesla and pulled the survivor out of the wreckage.

‘The solo vehicle that was involved in the crash, there was another vehicle that came after it, that was following behind and came upon the vehicle as it was fully engulfed,’ Bowers said.

‘The individual exited the car and was able to pull the person out, but the nature of the vehicle was a Cybertruck and the heat was just too intense.’

Bowers said it is possible the victims and the man who tried to rescue them all knew each other and had been together before the crash.

The front of the Cybertruck was completely destroyed. The electric vehicle’s battery is not believed to have caught fired following the collision.

Authorities said that fire crews tried to douse the fireball with extinguishers, but the intensity of the flames was too hot.

Bronson Boyle, who was Dixon’s roommate at USC, shared a photo of them standing in their dorm room calling him ‘the best roommate and friend I ever could’ve asked for’.

‘Our first night as roommates we snuck onto the new north roof, and just talked for hours, getting to know one another,’ he wrote.

‘That first day encounter, and every day of the 8 months that followed as roommates, were filled with unpredictable fun. Always upbeat, ever inviting, and ferociously fun – that’s who you were. I’m so glad to have known you.

‘I’ll always remember you as brother-one who was righteous beyond belief. Rest in peace man. I’ll miss ya every day. I’ll raise a glass to you every day forever.’
