A failed U-turn maneuver cost the life of the famous American billionaire Angela Chao (50). She just wanted to take a short trip in her Tesla model
The tragedy occurred in February, but the gruesome details have only now emerged. Chao had rented a private farm with friends to spend a nice weekend and celebrate Chinese New Year. The party took place in an outbuilding of the lavish Hill County estate. Shortly before midnight, the 50-year-old made her way home to the main house, where her three-year-old son was sleeping. It would have only been a short walk, but she decided to drive.
Girlfriend had to listen to the pain on the cell phone
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Chao tried to turn around in three moves, but she went too far over the embankment and rolled into a pond. The 50-year-old tried to open the doors, but failed. In a panic, she called a friend on her cell phone. She had to listen to the fight for survival in the cockpit of the Tesla.
According to the report, the immediately alerted rescuers had difficulty reaching the accident site over the impassable terrain. Only 24 minutes after receiving the emergency call did the first emergency services arrive at the Tesla, which had now completely disappeared.
Accident-filled rescue mission
The rescue operation was reportedly very difficult. A requested dive team was unavailable for unknown reasons. The first rescue rope turned out to be too short. It wasn’t until shortly before 1 a.m. that rescuers were able to free Chao from the Tesla, but it was too late. All resuscitation measures failed. Although it was probably a tragic accident, police want to clear up some doubts before suspending the investigation, which is currently still called a ‘criminal investigation’.
Chao’s husband Bill Breyer, chairman of an investment firm, posted a message on his website. It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved youngest daughter, Angela Chao.” Angela’s sister Elaine is married to retiring Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and served as Labor secretary under George W. Bush.
