By Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators say they’ve found no evidence of a mechanical problem in the Tesla that plowed into a Katy home and killed a woman.
Martha Avila was in the front room of the house on Blooming Park Lane when the car hit it on Friday night. She died at a local hospital. The driver, Michael Butler, told deputies the Tesla was in an automated driving mode when it crashed.
Butler isn’t facing charges so far. But once the investigation is complete, the Harris County D-A’s Office will decide whether to press charges.
