California, United State:- Dharmesh Patel is 41 years old California doctor. He was accused of intentionally driving a Tesla off a cliff on 2 February 2023.

In the car, there was his wife and their two children. He was caught with a bloodshot eye and was taken to a San Mateo County jail from the hospital.

He is charged with 3 counts of attempted first-degree attempted murder.

San Mateo District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said,

“The evidence supports that he intentionally drove that vehicle over that cliff.”

Dharmets will enter a plea on 9 February 2023. At present, he is being held without bail.

Steve Wagstaffe Said,

“We’re hoping to learn more when, hopefully, the wife is…available for an interview and is willing to speak with us at that point.”

CHP officer Mark Andrew said that he didn’t believe the Tesla was on autopilot at the time of the crash. This incident was held on the Devil’s Slide’ cliff, south of the Tom Lantos tunnels on State Highway 1.

The first responder told that the white Tesla was about 250 feet down the cliff and he noticed victims still moving inside the vehicle on 2 February 2023.

Rescuers pulled out the two children (a 7 years old girl and a 4 year old boy) from the vehicle using the jaws of life tool.

They pulled Dharmesh and his wife Neha Patel from the vehicle’s windows.

After the crash, a battalion chief for Caostside Fire Protection District Brian Pottenger said,

“We go there all the time for cars over the cliff, and they never live. This was an absolute miracle.”

According to California officials, Dharmesh’s actions were intentional. Dharmesh’s wife is in the hospital recovering.
