Lawsuit: "Defectively Designed" Cybertruck burns in crash -- driver's bones disintegrated [View all]
A Tesla Cybertruck owner in Texas was unable to escape after rolling it into a ditch last year, experiencing an unthinkable demise as the batteries powering the $100,000 stainless steel SUV burst into flames with such intensity the helpless driver's skeletal system literally disintegrated, his family says.
Michael Sheehan, 47, "burned to death at 5,000°F a fire so hot his bones experienced thermal fracture," according to a gut-wrenching lawsuit his widow and parents have now filed against the electric auto manufacturer headed up by billionaire Elon Musk.
"He was eight inches shorter in length than he was before he burned," attorney S. Scott West told The Independent. "That's thermal fracture."

The suit by Sheehan's family says the single-vehicle crash would have normally been survivable, but that the "defectively designed" Cybertruck instead trapped the registered nurse inside and incinerated him alive.
