A 41-year-old man from California was arrested on Tuesday on charges of attempted murder and child endangering after police concluded that he drove a car with his family inside over a 250 foot cliff. The driver, his wife, and their two young children survived the crash.
The crash happened on Highway 1 in the area known as "Devil's Slide", which is difficult to drive through. They arrived at the scene and found the family alive and well.
According to CNN, the California State Highway Patrol said that there was probable cause to believe that the incident was intentional.
According to Brian Pottenger, a battalion chief with the Coastside Fire Protection District, the damage to the car indicated that it hit the ground and then flipped several times before landing upright. Pottenger told the New York Times that the story ended the way it did.
