The incident occurred on Wednesday in Las Vegas in front of Donald Trump's hotel. According to CNN, the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded was rented by a 36-year-old special forces soldier. However, it has still not been determined if he was the one who died in the explosion.

The station, citing government officials, reported that the man was a Green Beret stationed in Germany with the 10th Special Forces Group. He was on vacation in the United States and had rented the car in Colorado.

It is not known if he drove the vehicle to the hotel doors and detonated fireworks and fuel tanks. The identity of the driver who died has not yet been established. As a result of the explosion, seven people also sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Explosion in Las Vegas. Joe Biden on the investigation

President Joe Biden informed that investigators are looking into whether the explosion is connected to a New Year's attack by an ISIS sympathizer in New Orleans.

The attacker from New Orleans was a former soldier, like the man who rented the Tesla and an electric pickup truck (Ford F-150 Lightning) using the same mobile app, Turo.
