   SOUTH JORDAN – A woman is in the hospital after her Tesla Model S collided   
   with the back of a Unified Fire Authority mechanic truck Friday night on   
   Bangerter Highway.   
      
   According to South Jordan Police, the Tesla was traveling southbound on   
   Bangerter Highway (SR-154) around 6:30 p.m. before it crashed into the   
   truck that had been stopped at the red light at 10400 South.   
      
   While police are still investigating whether or not the car was using the   
   autopilot feature at the time, they say it does not appear any brakes were   
   applied before the accident.   
      
   “For unknown reasons, the Tesla failed to stop for the traffic at the red   
   light and ran into the back of the Unified Fire Authority vehicle at 60   
   miles per hour,” said Sergeant Samuel Winkler with the South Jordan Police   
   Department   
      
   The 28-year-old female driver from Lehi was transported to a nearby   
   hospital with a broken ankle. Police say the driver of the UFA truck was   
   not injured and left later in the same truck.   
      
   South Jordan police are continuing to investigate the incident but say   
   they likely won’t have more information on the crash until next week.
