22 Year Old Tesla Driver Runs Down and Kills Man On Motorcycle Crash on 805 Freeway
CHULA VISTA, CA (June 30, 2025)— A 22-year-old San Diego man is facing murder charges after allegedly causing a high-speed crash that killed a motorcyclist and injured six others Monday night on southbound Interstate 805, authorities said.
The fatal collision occurred shortly after 8 p.m. on June 30, just north of Telegraph Canyon Road, prompting the closure of several freeway lanes for over 12 hours, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The Young Suspect Was Driving A Red 2023 Tesla Model At A Very High Speed
Investigators believe the suspect was driving a red 2023 Tesla Model Y at dangerously high speeds when he intentionally struck the rear of a gray 2025 BMW motorcycle. The motorcyclist, identified as 53-year-old Jorge Uribe of Chula Vista, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following the initial impact, the Tesla continued forward and slammed into a black 2012 Ram 1500 pickup truck carrying six people. All six sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate and were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.
After The Crash The Suspect Tried To Flee On Foot
Authorities say the Tesla driver fled the crash scene on foot but was apprehended shortly after by CHP officers. He has since been arrested and booked on multiple felony charges, including murder.
The extensive freeway closure lasted into the following afternoon, with all lanes finally reopening around noon Tuesday. The incident caused major disruptions to the morning commute for thousands of drivers.
Anyone with information about the crash is urged to contact the CHP Major Crimes Unit at (858) 944-6300.
