Angela Chao, CEO of Foremost Group and sister of former US cabinet secretary Elaine Chao, died in a tragic incident last month. Her Tesla Model X SUV submerged in a pond on a Texas ranch after a three-point turn gone wrong.
Emergency responders faced challenges reaching the scene due to difficult terrain. Efforts to rescue Chao included attempts to break the car window and a tow truck finally pulling the vehicle from the pond. Concerns about electrocution risk from the electric car were noted, though these vehicles are designed to prevent such hazards. Despite resuscitation efforts, Angela Chao did not survive.
The incident is under investigation, and officials have not provided additional comments. Angela Chao was one of Elaine Chao's five sisters, who had served in key government positions.
