Police appeal after Tesla super car crashes into tree in Carnforth and seriously injures four children

Police are appealing for witnesses after a driver hit a tree at Pine Lake Resort, Carnforth.

A 45-year-old man from Warrington was travelling in a Tesla carrying four children, two aged 11 and the others aged 12.

He drove anti-clockwise around the resort’s perimeter, past the reception on his left and on to a straight section of road, where he accelerated then failed to negotiate a left-hand bend, causing the car to veer on to a grass verge and collide with the tree.

The accident happened on Saturday January 18 at 11.20pm.
