A 7-year-old passenger was killed Tuesday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash on Summit Boulevard near West Palm Beach, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash occurred around 1:33 p.m. on June 2 in the 5500 block of Summit Boulevard. Investigators said a 2021 Tesla Model 3 traveling eastbound struck the rear of a dump truck that was moving across both eastbound lanes to make a southbound turn.
After the initial collision, the Tesla crossed into the westbound lanes and collided with a 2001 GMC Yukon. The child riding in the Tesla died as a result of the crash.
The drivers of the Tesla and Yukon suffered minor injuries, while the dump truck driver was not injured. The crash remains under investigation.
