NEW YORK: Two deadly incidents on New Year’s Day – an attack being investigated as an act of terrorism in New Orleans and an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas – both involved vehicles that were rented on Turo, a peer-to-peer car sharing company.
Early on Jan 1, 42-year-old Army veteran Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar rammed a pickup truck into a crowd in New Orleans’ famed French Quarter – killing 14 people who were celebrating the New Year. And police fatally shot Jabbar in a following firefight.
