A family’s lunch at the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles took a frightening turn when outdoor patio furniture struck a woman on the rooftop patio. Valentina, dining with her husband George and their baby, was hit in the forehead by a loose patio covering shortly after receiving their food. The impact left her briefly confused and unconscious, and the object narrowly missed their child.
George reported the incident to the restaurant manager, and Tesla’s security team reviewed surveillance footage, confirming the accident. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a 911 call and treated Valentina for a head injury, noting swelling but no bleeding. Although offered hospital transport, she chose to go on her own. The family plans to pursue legal action against Tesla regarding the incident.
