A Tesla Model 3 caught fire after hitting a traffic island and overturning in Taoyuan City in the early hours of the morning, April 1, killing the driver.

Firefighters found the car ablaze when they arrived at the scene of the single-vehicle crash on Zhongzheng Road, Longtan District at around 12:30 am Wednesday morning.

Details of the incident were widely reported today after one of the firefighters wrote a detailed Facebook post about the procedure of dealing with an AEV fire.​

And in other news:

BMW engine-fire recall expands by another 185,000 vehicles

And before the "this is a tesla forum" comments come flooding in... I dont feel that every single time a car catches on fire for any reason is "news" tesla or otherwise.
