Why It Matters: The Thanksgiving day crash on Interstate 80, which took place near Treasure Island, resulted in two juveniles needing to be hospitalized for minor injuries and caused lengthy delays on the bridge, reported Reuters.

The police report noted that the Tesla vehicle made an unsafe lane change and was slowing to a stop which led to another vehicle ramming it resulting in a cascade of crashes, according to Reuters.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating Tesla’s advanced driver assistance system. 

Meanwhile, the  National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has questioned the Elon Musk-led company’s use of the term Full-Self Driving and called it “irresponsible.” 

Price Action: On Wednesday, Tesla shares closed 0.55% higher at $138.33 in the regular session and fell 0.2% in the after-hours trading, according to Benzinga Pro data.
