California man under arrest for attempted murder after police say he allegedly intentionally drove off a cliff with 1 woman and 2 children in car

A 41-year-old California man was placed under arrest Tuesday on multiple charges after he allegedly intended to drive off a cliff on the Pacific Coast Highway with three passengers in the car, authorities said.

All four occupants of the Tesla survived the crash on Monday after the car plunged between 250 and 300 feet below the road it was on and into a rocky beach area known as Devil’s Slide, about 20 miles south from San Francisco, according to the California Highway Patrol.

In addition to the driver, an adult woman, a 9-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl were in the car when the crash happened Monday morning, according to Brian Pottenger, a battalion chief with Cal Fire’s Coastside Fire Protection District.

They were all taken to a local hospital with serious injuries, the highway patrol said Tuesday. The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office previously said in a social media post that the children were “unharmed.”

“Based on the evidence collected, investigators developed probable cause to believe this incident was an intentional act,” the state’s highway patrol said in a news release Tuesday announcing the driver’s arrest.

The driver, from Pasadena, California, was arrested for attempted murder and child endangerment, according to the arrest report. He will be formally booked into San Mateo County Jail after his hospital treatment is completed, the highway patrol added.

The relationship between the driver and passengers remained unclear Tuesday.

Musk may be a (Y) but the Tesla design may have been part of the reason the passengers survived.

5-star

The Tesla Model X has a 5-star safety rating overall, based on front and side crash tests and a rollover rating. The NHTSA has also verified that safety features such as forward collision warning and departure warning come standard with Tesla vehicles. NHTSA: 5 stars Rollover risk: 9.30% Tesla Model 3
