This Cybertruck Went So Far Off-Road It Needed A Crane To Drag It Back
- Two of the wheels were torn off when this Cybertruck went off-road.
- A local tow company had to use a crane to pull it back to the road.
- It’s unclear if the Tesla truck driver suffered any injuries in the crash.
A dramatic rescue operation unfolded in California earlier this week when a Tesla Cybertruck had to be hauled out of a ravine after veering off the road in Cajon Pass. The futuristic pickup, already known for its unconventional design, looked far worse for wear by the time it was recovered, and likely won’t be returning to the road.

It’s understood that the driver of the Tesla lost control of the electric pickup on I-15 at roughly 3:15 a.m. on July 20. There’s no word on how the driver managed to lose control of the Tesla so horribly, but it ended up roughly 600 feet away from where it appears to have entered an area of shrubbery off to the side of the road.
A Tough Morning for Towing Crews
Rather than attempting an immediate recovery in the dark, officers from the California Highway Patrol left the Cybertruck in place until reopening the scene at approximately 7:31 a.m., reports VVNG. A local towing company, Armada Towing, was called to retrieve the Cybertruck.
A clip shared to social media by Armada Towing shows that pulling the Cybertruck away from its grave was no easy feat. Heavy straps had to be wrapped around the bodywork before a crane arm attached to the tow truck slowly winched it out of position. It was then lifted over the guardrail.
While the strong stainless steel bodywork of the Cybertruck appears to have withstood the crash quite well, two of its wheels have been ripped off, and it appears all of the airbags have been deployed. There are no details regarding the condition of the driver, but they were reportedly able to escape through the left rear passenger door, which was left ajar in the crash.
