Here's the first Tesla Cybertruck crash we've heard about

• A Tesla Cybertruck was involved in an accident on Thursday afternoon.

• There were no major injuries, with the Cybertruck driver suspected of having a "minor injury."

• Images of the incident appeared to show a Toyota Corolla with substantial damage to its front.

The Tesla Cybertruck has been in its first reported accident.

A Toyota Corolla reportedly driven by a 17-year-old hit the stainless steel truck on Thursday afternoon while it was traveling north on California's Skyline Boulevard.

The California Highway Patrol confirmed to The Verge that a two-vehicle accident had occurred on the road, adding that the only injury was a suspected minor injury to the Cybertruck driver.

A Reddit user posted two images of the accident showing what appeared to be a relatively unscathed Cybertruck and a Toyota Corolla with substantial damage to its front.

The picture only shows the truck's passenger side, with the user noting they didn't see much of the side where the suspected injury occurred. According to The Verge, the Cybertruck had two passengers aside from the driver.

In a report reviewed by the news outlet, the CHP said the driver of the Toyota had turned right and "subsequently struck a dirt embankment on the right shoulder."

"The Toyota then re-entered the roadway, crossed over the double yellow lines into the northbound lane, and crashed into a Tesla Cybertruck traveling north on SR-35 northbound," the CHP said in the release.

The California Highway Patrol did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider made outside normal working hours.

Experts have previously expressed concerns about what would happen if the Cybertruck were involved in a crash. The truck, which weighs 3.5 tons and has the acceleration of a Formula 1 car, has been compared to a "guideless missile" and dubbed a "death machine" by one expert.

The decision to cover the truck's frame in cold-rolled stainless steel, which could affect the vehicle's "crumple zone" — an area designed to crunch in on itself to absorb energy from the collision — has drawn particular scrutiny.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has pushed back on some of the concerns, claiming the Cybertruck is "safer per mile than other trucks."
