US: According to media sources, a 41-year-old man of Indian descent was detained in the US on accusations of attempted murder and child abuse after he purposefully drove a Tesla down a cliff while his wife and two children were inside.
After being discharged from the hospital, Dharmesh A. Patel of Pasadena, California, will be sent to San Mateo County Jail, according to a statement from the highway patrol.
The California Highway Patrol said that Dharmesh Patel, his wife, and their kids were saved and survived on Monday at Devil’s Slide in San Mateo County. Firefighters rappelled down the cliff to save the two kids, a 4-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, during the rescue operation.
The two adults were extricated from the car by a helicopter crew, according to NBC News, an American broadcast news network.
The New York Times article referred to the rescue as virtually miraculous.

According to Mr. Pottenger, the children’s injuries were moderate.
According to Officer Andrew Barclay, a spokesman for the Golden Gate Division of the Highway Patrol, the authorities intend to charge Mr. Patel with three charges of attempted murder and two counts of child abuse.
