A doctor whom police say intentionally drove his Tesla off a California cliff – injuring his two children, his wife and himself – will face attempted murder and child abuse charges when released from a hospital where he was in stable condition on Wednesday.
Dharmesh Patel, 41, a radiologist from Pasadena, was placed under arrest after being rescued from the destroyed vehicle at the rocky bottom of Devil’s Slide, a notoriously dangerous cliff above the Pacific Ocean south of San Francisco.
Patel, his 41-year-old wife, his 7-year-old daughter and his his 4-year-old-son all survived the nearly 300-foot (91-meter) plunge to the water’s edge.
