Investigators are looking into the possibility that Alan Ruck's brand new Rivian electric pickup truck may have been responsible for a crash that occurred on Halloween, according to reports from KTLA and TMZ. While ruling out physical impairment or criminal activity, investigators have turned their focus towards the high-tech features of Ruck's Rivian as a potential cause for the incident.

The crash took place at the intersection of Hollywood and La Brea, where Ruck's Rivian R1T suddenly lurched forward, colliding with the car in front before careening across lanes of traffic and smashing into a pizza shop. Thankfully, no serious injuries were reported, and Ruck fully cooperated with investigators.

In a surprising twist, investigators are now speculating that the advanced technology in Ruck's brand-new Rivian might have played a role in the crash. Sources close to the investigation revealed that officials believe the incident could be attributed to the fact that Ruck's electric pickup truck is both a new vehicle and equipped with cutting-edge features.

However, Rivian has stated that their internal examination found no indication of a malfunction and that the vehicle performed as designed. A spokesperson for the automaker said, "We are fully cooperating with local law enforcement's ongoing investigation of the incident."

While the LAPD is nearing the conclusion of the case, sources suggest that insurance companies will ultimately be responsible for handling the aftermath of the crash. The details surrounding the potential role of the Rivian in the incident remain uncertain.

As the investigation continues, questions arise regarding the role of advanced technologies in vehicles and their potential impact on driver behavior. Rivian's denial of any malfunction adds another layer of complexity to the case. The conclusion of the investigation and the decisions made by insurance companies will likely shed more light on this unusual crash involving Alan Ruck and his Rivian R1T.
