The driver of a Tesla that crashed into a Katy-area home and killed a grandmother is charged with manslaughter. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office announced the charge against Michael Butler on Wednesday.
Investigators say 76-year-old Martha Avila was in the front room of the house on Blooming Park Lane when the car hit it on June 19th. She was flown to a hospital, where she died. Butler claimed the car was in an automated driving mode when it crashed, but Tesla engineers said that would have been impossible.
