In the north-west of Sydney, there was a rather unusual incident involving a Tesla and another car. As a result, a lengthy recovery operation had to take place to safely remove the EV. This caused some inconvenience for motorists who were advised to avoid Chapel Lane in Crestwood until the tow truck could clear the scene.
The Hills Police Area Command shared some pictures on their Facebook page, capturing the strange sight of a white Tesla mounted on top of a blue Holden. It was certainly an unexpected and unusual sight to see on the roads. But as the post explained, the recovery operation for electric vehicles can be a time-consuming process due to the potential risk of fire to the batteries.
It's no secret that lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in electric cars, as well as other forms of electric transportation such as e-scooters and e-bikes. Unfortunately, these batteries have been known to cause fires on occasion, which has raised concerns among firefighters about their potential dangers.
In fact, there have been several incidents in recent months involving lithium batteries catching fire, which is why it's important for recovery operations to be carried out with caution. The Hills Police Area Command's post also took the opportunity to remind people about the potential hazards of these batteries, in case anyone needed a gentle reminder.
