Circumstances leading up to what caused the collision remain under investigation. Police have not yet said if the decedent was in the vehicle or outside of the Urbane Cafe restaurant, where the car came to a stop. 

Five others were injured in the crash, four of whom suffered minor to moderate injuries. It's unclear if any of the other victims required hospitalization.

Aerial footage showed what looks to be a white Tesla that appeared to have driven into an outdoor dining area of the restaurant. The vehicle had considerable front-end damage, and the airbags were deployed. Police had blocked off a large portion of the parking lot as their investigation got underway.
