On November 18, 2025, around 1:45 p.m., Princeton Police responded to Harper Elementary in the 8000 block of County Road 398 after receiving reports that a vehicle had lost control and crashed into several parked cars.
Officers arrived to find bystanders attempting to assist an adult male. The driver, a 51-year-old Fairview resident operating a 2021 Tesla, was pronounced deceased at the scene. Investigators say the vehicle struck seven unoccupied cars in the parking lot. No one was near the vehicles when the crash occurred.
The impact sent debris into the school building and broke a cafeteria window. Two people inside were evaluated by AMR as a precaution due to shattered glass. Both were cleared and released on scene with no injuries.
The Princeton Police Traffic and Criminal Investigations Divisions are working to determine what caused the crash. Because the case is still active, no additional information is available at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Princeton Police Department at 972-736-3901. Tips can also be submitted via TIP411 by texting PPDTIP and a message to 847411, using the mobile app, or submitting an online form on the department’s website.
