Yahoo Autos Actor Alan Ruck's Rivian R1T car crash caused by unfamiliarity with the EV's tech, police say
On Halloween night, actor Alan Ruck's Rivian R1T pickup crashed into a California pizza parlor. The electric truck suddenly accelerated across an intersection through a red light, damaging three other cars before smashing through the wall of the restaurant. Police are now reportedly saying that the crash was likely due to Ruck's unfamiliarity with the new truck's high-tech features.
The accident occurred around 9 p.m. on October 31, at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, a busy intersection in the heart of Hollywood. (Incidentally, the ramen joint next door is one of the best in Los Angeles). Video footage shows Ruck's Rivian at a stop behind another car that was waiting to make a right turn at a red light.
