NTSB Investigating Fatal Texas Crash Involving Ford Vehicle with Hands-Free Driving Engaged

The NTSB is investigating a fatal crash involving a Ford Mustang Mach-E with BlueCruise engaged. The Mach-E crashed into a stationary Honda CR-V, killing the CR-V driver.

The crash occurred on a Texas highway. Police report the Mach-E had "partial automation" engaged when it crashed into the CR-V.

BlueCruise is Ford's hands-free driving system for pre-mapped highways. NTSB is investigating its role in this crash.

Investigators will examine wreckage and accident details to understand the crash and BlueCruise's involvement.

Ford reported the incident to NHTSA and says it will collaborate fully with any investigation, though complete facts are not yet clear.
