A plaintiff from New Jersey has filed a federal lawsuit against Tesla in connection with a collision that occurred on the Garden State Parkway and resulted in the deaths of his parents and younger sister.
According to the State Police, his father, David Dryerman, was driving a 2024 Tesla S when it ran off the northbound Garden State Parkway in Woodbridge at the Metropark exit on September 14. He was 54 years old at the time of the accident.
In addition to a sign and a railing, the vehicle also collided with a concrete bridge support.

College student murns entire family
19-year-old Max Dryerman was not present with his family when the accident occurred. While he was attending Drexel University in Philadelphia, he had just started his classes. According to the information that was available on his Linkedin page at the time, he had also recently started working with Navy engineers in a co-op post sponsored by Naval Sea Systems Command.
Lawsuit says family not told Tesla is dangerous
It is Dreyman’s belief that the accident occurred because the Tesla S is equipped with both an autopilot and a fully autonomous driving option.
It was the vehicle’s “defective and unreasonably dangerous design” that caused it to run off the road and not apply the emergency brake, as stated in the federal lawsuit that Reuters was able to receive.
A further argument made in the lawsuit is that Tesla failed to inform David Dryerman that the company was unsafe.
Following the conclusion of a two-year investigation conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States, Tesla recalled two million of its vehicles in December 2023. The research revealed that Tesla’s system to monitor drivers who were using its self-driving Autopilot feature was flawed and needed to be repaired.
