WASHINGTON — A federal official says a second safety agency will investigate the fatal crash of a Tesla sedan while the vehicle’s Autopilot self-driving mode was in use.

Rob Molloy heads the National Transportation Safety Board’s highway investigations division. Molloy says a team of investigators will go to Florida to examine the wreckage.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced last week that it is investigating the May 7 crash near Gainesville to see if the Autopilot system is defective.
