An electric Tesla Semi truck crashed into two vehicles in Dayton, Nev., over the weekend, killing two people and raising questions about the truck's safety features. The Lyon County Sheriff's Office responded to a major collision around 7 a.m. on Sunday at the intersection of Highway 50 and Traditions Parkway about 40 miles east of Reno, the office said. The office confirmed a semi-truck was involved in the accident, and footage of the scene shows it was a Tesla Semi.

The trucks do not have the Full Self-Driving mode available in Tesla cars, but Tesla's website says they come standard "with active safety features that pair with advanced motor and brake controls to deliver traction and stability in all conditions."

According to the Lyon County Sheriff's Office, preliminary statements obtained at the scene suggest the truck driver may have fallen asleep behind the wheel.

The crash is under investigation by the Nevada State Police Highway Patrol, which said additional information may be released next week.
