A unfortunate traffic accident brought Rafael de Mestre’s electric trek across the globe to an abrupt halt today, stopping his Tesla Roadster a scant kilometer from the finish line. “Game over,” the world traveler wrote on Facebook and Twitter, posting a picture of the damaged vehicle and assuring readers that he survived the ordeal. Since then, he’s only offered a small update, lamenting the loss of his faithful electric carriage and sharing a short video of the accident’s aftermath. Lend the dejected driver some moral support (or just engage in digital rubbernecking) at the source links below.
