Woodlands, TX – A close friend of a man who died when a Tesla crashed into a tree and burned says he believes Dr. William Varner was trying to save his own life by getting into the back seat of the car.
“I’ve been going weeks without being able to sleep because I can’t get it out of my mind. It’s just horrible,” said Varner’s best friend Bob Wortham who lives in Beaumont.
Varner and his friend, Everette Talbot, died when the 2019 Tesla Model S crashed and caught fire near the Woodlands on April 17.
