The driver of a Tesla Inc. car that burst into flames after striking a tree last September in Florida had applied maximum acceleration and was racing at several times the speed limit, investigators said Wednesday.
The car sped through a yellow light at an intersection, reaching a speed of 90 miles (145 kilometers) per hour, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report on the accident.
