Albert Scaglione, possibly the most prolific art dealer in the world, was involved in the crash last Friday. He survived, the Detroit Free Press reports, though it makes no mention of any injuries to Scaglione or his son-in-law riding with him. Scaglione, who turned 77 just three days after the crash, hit a guardrail around mile marker 160 going east on the turnpike around 5 p.m., swung across the highway, hit a concrete barrier, then rolled. But there is as of yet no official confirmation from Tesla about Scaglione, who survived his incident, as the Free Press reports. The Free Press was not able to reach Scaglione, owner of Park West Gallery, or Yanke, but Dale Vukovich of the Pennsylvania State Police, who responded to the crash, said Scaglione told him that he had activated the Autopilot feature. The crash is currently under investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police. An officer told the newspaper he would likely cite Scaglione, but declined to say for what. Brown’s fatal crash, which happened in May but was only made public recently, also remains under investigation by NHTSA. His crash death was the first documented one in a semi-autonomous vehicle, although police and a witness believe Brown may have been watching a Harry Potter film on a portable DVD player at the time of the wreck. UPDATE: a Tesla spokesperson told Jalopnik that there is “no data to suggest that Autopilot was engaged at the time of the incident.” Here’s their full statement: We have no data to suggest that Autopilot was engaged at the time of the incident. Anytime there is a significant accident, Tesla receives a crash detection alert. As is our practice with all collisions, we immediately reached out to the customer to make sure he was safe. Until the customer responds, we are unable to further investigate.

No injuries were reported. Just one day after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into a fatal Tesla crash that occurred while Autopilot was engaged, the semi-autonomous software is being implicated in a second high-speed crash. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported. The Detroit Free Press reports that art dealer Albert Scaglione, 77, was driving with his son-in-law on the eastbound side of the Pennsylvania Turnpike about 107 miles east of Pittsburg when his Tesla Model X electric SUV struck a right-side guardrail, ricocheted into the center concrete barrier, then rolled over onto its roof.

Vukovich told the Free Press that he plans on citing Scaglione for the crash, though he did not specify the offense. While it's unclear what role, if any, Autopilot played in the Pennsylvania crash, it comes at a bad time for Tesla. The automaker is facing increased scrutiny over the rollout of its semi-autonomous Autopilot feature, after it was revealed last week that a driver killed in a Tesla accident in May was apparently using Autopilot at the time of the crash.
