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 4-year-old-son all survived the nearly 300-foot plunge to the water's edge.
Patel was transported to hospital with serious injuries on Monday, the California Highway Patrol said. Authorities plan to book him into the San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City upon his release.Initial media reports after the crash on Monday said themay have been in full self-driving mode but CHP has since said the driving mode did not appear to have been a contributing factor to the accident.
“Based on the evidence collected, investigators developed probable cause to believe this incident was an intentional act,” CHP said in a statement.
