Paris' largest taxi firm suspends Tesla Model 3 cars after fatal crash

Paris' largest taxi firm, G7, has suspended Model 3 Teslas from its fleet, after one was involved in a fatal accident over the weekend.

One person was killed and another 20 injured, after a driver lost control of the vehicle.

Tesla has denied any technical problem with the car, after checking its data remotely.

Paris prosecutors have opened an investigation into charges of manslaughter and unintentional injury.

The accident involved an off-duty taxi driver who had been taking his family to a restaurant, reports say.

French media said the vehicle struck two pedestrians, a traffic light and a van.

Tesla's assistive technology allows its vehicles to automatically steer, accelerate and brake.
