A second fatal crash involving a Mach-E took place in Philadelphia, although it's not known whether the driver-assist system played a role. Both crashes involved Mach-Es crashing into stationary vehicles.
The first incident took place at 9:50PM on February 24th outside of San Antonio, Texas. According to a preliminary report from NTSB, the 44-year-old driver of the Mustang Mach-E was traveling eastbound on Interstate 10 when he rear-ended a stationary Honda CRV. The 56-year-old Honda driver was killed in the crash.
