The man who drove his Tesla off a cliff in San Mateo County with his family inside did so intentionally, wife tells investigators, newly released court records show.
REDWOOD CITY — The wife of a man who drove his Tesla off a cliff with his family inside told police after she was rescued that her husband did it on purpose, newly unsealed records in the harrowing attempted murder case show.
Dharmesh Patel — a radiologist from Pasadena — has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempted murder. His attorney, Joshua Bentley, did not return a request for comment on Wednesday. Patel added that his wife was “irritated” with him shortly before the crash because she didn’t want to stop at his brother’s house before going back to their home in Southern California, the records show.
Surveillance video taken from the Tom Lantos Tunnels confirms witness accounts and forensic analysis from the scene.
