A 41-year-old doctor- Dharmesh A. Patel is a radiologist in Mission Hills, California, who worked at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center drove his Tesla off a Northern California cliff 250 feet with his family inside on January 2, 2023. He was charged with attempted murder and child abuse after all four survived the crash.
According to The Los Angeles Times, Patel is under constant police observation at the hospital and will be processed and booked at San Mateo County Jail before being discharged from the hospital. Investigators have not provided any details regarding the evidence they have, nor have they revealed the reasons for the attempted murder charge. They simply confirmed that the charges were “legitimate.”
The family lives on Lomay Place in Pasadena, California, an upscale area of Los Angeles.
The crash took place on the coastal area of Northern California known as Devil’s Slide. It is located between Pacifica and Montara on the San Mateo County coast. It gets its name from the rocky margins that are prone to accidents. Following the death of a Montara man Ryan Moss in 2017, Caltrans constructed 36-inch-high temporary concrete barriers near Gray Whale Cove. After two drivers were died when driving over the cliff in 2020, Caltrans constructed 140 feet of temporary barriers above the cove. Patel and his family went across to the north of Gray Whale Cove, just below the old WWII bunker.
Caltrans announced a new safety project for Devil’s Slide between the tunnels and Montara in 2021 to build or replace 11 K-rail barriers and guardrails. Caltrans officials anticipate that the barriers will prevent 13 off-road incidents in the next 10 years or sooner. Construction might begin in January 2024, pending a lengthy environmental and permitting process.
