美国“第一华人家庭”女富豪开特斯拉车祸身亡，细节曝光！（讲解版）｜E0313

▍原文
Angela Chao, Senator Mitch McConnell's billionaire sister-in-law, spent her last minutes alive frantically calling her friends for help. Her Tesla sank in a pond on a remote Texas ranch.

Chao, the former CEO of shipping giant Foremost Group, tragically died after accidentally backing her car into the pond while making a three-point turn.

A report shed light on the chaotic rescue efforts that ultimately came up short.
