Four friends died in a burning Tesla after a crash broke the car's electronic door handles, El.kz cites Daily Mail.
A woman in her 20s was the only survivor of the fiery October 24 crash after Rick Harper, a heroic Canada Post employee, smashed the window of the blazing Model Y with a metal pole.
Four of her friends, identified as 25-year-old Neelraj Gohil, his sister Ketaba Gohil, 29, Jay Sisodiya and Digvijay Patel all died in the tragedy.
Harper has since told the Toronto Star that the surviving woman 'couldn't open the doors' from the inside of the wreck.
Teslas have a button which the car's driver and passenger push to open a door, instead of a handle. But if the power fails after a crash, the doors can become stuck and won't open.

The smoke was so thick he didn't realize there were others trapped inside. He has no way of knowing whether they, too, were frantically trying to get out of the Tesla.
