Highway safety regulators are launching an investigation into a fatal crash on a highway near San Antonio that may be related to a Mustang's automated driving feature.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a probe into Ford after a fatal accident that may have involved the company's automated driving feature. Regulators are investigating the circumstances of a fatal crash in the San Antonio, Texas, area last month involving a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Mustang reportedly slammed into the rear of a stationary Honda CR-V on Interstate Highway 10.

The driver of the Honda was critically injured and transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died. Ford released a statement about the incident, acknowledging it had immediately informed the NHTSA of the accident's circumstances, according to the WSJ. "The complete facts of this event are not yet clear," the automaker said, according to The Wall Street Journal.
