One passenger, 20-year-old Jordan Miller, was pulled alive from the SUV but seriously burned. The three others were pronounced dead at the scene. Miller was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit in a medically induced coma. His mother, Samantha Miller, told DailyMail.com in December that he had been in 'critical' condition following several surgeries. She further told CBS News at the time: 'We're just taking it day by day. As you would expect, it's a devastating situation and, you know, we're all thinking about the kids that were lost.' 'They're not kids anymore, but they still are to us,' she added. Police chief Jeremy Bowers said another car had been trailing the Tesla and pulled the survivor out of the wreckage. 'The solo vehicle that was involved in the crash, there was another vehicle that came after it, that was following behind and came upon the vehicle as it was fully engulfed,' Bowers said. 'The individual exited the car and was able to pull the person out, but the nature of the vehicle was a Cybertruck and the heat was just too intense.'

Bronson Boyle, who was Dixon's roommate at USC, shared a photo of them standing in their dorm room calling him 'the best roommate and friend I ever could've asked for'. 'Our first night as roommates we snuck onto the new north roof, and just talked for hours, getting to know one another,' he wrote. 'That first day encounter, and every day of the 8 months that followed as roommates, were filled with unpredictable fun. Always upbeat, ever inviting, and ferociously fun - that's who you were. I'm so glad to have known you. 'I'll always remember you as brother-one who was righteous beyond belief. Rest in peace man. I'll miss ya every day. I'll raise a glass to you every day forever.'
