According to the New York Times three Tesla Motors employees were killed in a plane crash in east Palo Alto on Wednesday.
Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk was not in the twin-engine Cessna 310 that crashed at around 8:00 AM in foggy weather, shortly after takeoff from Palo Alto Airport.
According to the New York Times a Tesla employee was piloting the plane which was bound for a Los Angeles-area airport.
Tesla says the names of the victims will not be released until their families are notified.
Earlier this month Tesla filed for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) that could raise as much as $100 million.
