The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Monday it was seeking more information about an accident involving Tesla’s Cybertruck from the electric vehicle maker.

The driver of the electric pickup truck was declared dead as a result of the accident in Texas’s Chambers County, according to media reports.

Tesla and the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

The automaker began delivering the “Blade Runner”-inspired truck in November 2023 after years of delay and a difficult production ramp-up. “We dug our own grave with Cybertruck,” Musk said about the vehicle.

The NHTSA said Tesla has issued four recalls for its 2024 Cybertruck.
