Reuters reported on Thursday, January 2 that an explosion involving a “Tesla Cybertruck” occurred in front of the Donald Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, USA, resulting in one death and seven injuries.
According to authorities, the incident is under investigation to determine whether it was a terrorist attack or not.

Meanwhile, authorities in New Orleans, Louisiana, announced yesterday that on the first day of the New Year, a “pickup” truck at high speed crashed into a crowd in the city. According to U.S. Federal Police statistics, at least 15 people were killed and 30 others injured in the incident.
