The victim of a Delta, B.C., crash when a Tesla jumped a curb and smashed into another car has been identified as a young refugee from Afghanistan.
Masihullah Tavakoli had just turned 19 years old.
“That was not his fault. I can’t believe he is dead right now,” his sister, Zainab Tavakoli, told Global News.
The deadly crash happened on Saturday afternoon at 75A Avenue and 118th Street.
Moments before the crash, the Tesla can be seen driving at what appears to be a high rate of speed, before jumping a curb, plowing down the sidewalk and hitting Tavakoli’s car, which was waiting at the stop sign.

The children were rushed to the hospital and one of them remains there, but is expected to recover.
