Police Are Searching For Driver Who Jumped and Wrecked Rented Tesla in Viral Video

If you were anywhere near social media over the weekend, you probably came across a viral video of a Tesla Model S soaring through the air in spectacular fashion before crashing into the ground along a residential street in Los Angeles. Well, the cops saw the video as well, and now they're looking for the driver.

The 2018 Model S was jumped at 12:10 a.m. Sunday at the intersection of Baxter Street and Alvarado Street in Echo Park, police said. After its launch, the Tesla hit two parked cars and some trash cans. The stunt was performed in front of a crowd that gathered following a Tesla meet that occurred earlier in the evening, according to YouTuber Alex Choi who posted a video recapping the jump. The YouTuber claimed no one was injured in the stunt.

A video published by the Los Angeles Police Department Central Traffic division on March 20 also shows several angles of the jump and subsequent impact taken by other bystanders who were at the scene at the time of the incident.
