#drpatelsuicideattempt Three days ago, a tragedy occurred near where we live here in Pacifica. A Tesla crashed over and fell down into Devil's Slide. Four people could have died. (There have been other deaths in the past in this area.) The authorities initiated a brave rescue attempt including fire department personnel rappelling down steep cliffs 250 to 300 feet. All four occupants of the car were still alive. The occupants were Dr. Dharmesh Patel aged 41, a radiologist from Pasadena, California, his domestic partner, a 7-year-old girl, and a 4-year-old boy. I credit the survival to the excellent quality of the Tesla. It protected the people inside.
My first impression was that it was a tragic accident. My second impression was that the driver was impaired by alcohol and drugs. The unfortunate driver would be facing a very serious felony drunk driving charge and other charges including child endangerment and negligence causing grievous bodily harm. The man's medical license would be gone. He would get around 36 months in state prison.
Then the case turned ugly. The California Highway Patrol determined quickly that the accident was intentional. Dr. Patel had tried to kill himself and his family. Dr. Patel was arrested for three counts of attempted murder and other charges. His medical license is gone. If convicted, he will spend the rest of his life in state prison.
Children are precious to me. They are a treasure. I cannot imagine anyone who would kill their own children. I am so sad when I think about how traumatized these two young kids will be for the rest of their lives. They will grow up without a father. Their mother will never be the same.
My mind went back 43 years when I was living in Sydney, Australia. This large city is blessed with one of the best newspapers on planet earth-The Sydney Morning Herald.
Sydney has far less violent crime than we experience in any US city or cities like Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Lima, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg, etc. In early 1982, a Sydney psychiatrist took his gun. He shot and killed his wife and his children. He then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.
The Sydney Morning Herald went in-depth on this story. It was not a front-page banner headline. It literally covered the entire front section of the newspaper. I took the time to read all that was written. All sorts of experts were interviewed. Relatives and family members of the dead family were interviewed. Of all the thousands of words written, one small part of the article haunts me after all these decades. The conclusion was that the dead psychiatrist came to see his wife and children not as humans but merely as his possession or property. He had the right to destroy his property. It is especially chilling in light of the education that the dead man had received including 4 years of college, medical school, and a fellowship in psychiatry. He intimately understood mental health issues. Why didn't he seek help when he started to have mental health issues?

The conclusion transition from an accident to an intentional act was quite a surprise.

I wonder how the authorities concluded that it was intentional? I expect that there was quite a bit of data available from the Tesla and surely the account from the domestic partner.

Curious if Tesla maintains privacy of customer data in the case of committed crimes?

I've driven there many times and I thought it was intentional.

Caltrans has recently been doing a lot of improvements there including a vastly expensive tunnel that bypasses a part of the road.

There are many parts of Hwy 1 that are much easier to drive off a cliff; Big Sur comes to mind.

I hadn't noticed that the Tesla symbol looks very similar to drawings of the female reproductive anatomy.

He didn't. Just because you study it doesn't mean life can't hit you in the jaw with a Mike Tyson uppercut. Most therapist and psychiatrist have their own therapist themselves. They're not emotionally "better" than the guy or gal working in a grocery store because they went to school for it. Plenty of alcoholic doctors and lawyers who should know better still do it. Damage their livers, DUI's, etc..

Also, paragraph breaks would be nice. I know it's a copy and paste thing, so maybe it formats different. But it's damn near impossible sometimes to read your posts.

It’s actually a representation of a stator in their signature electric motors.

All car manufacturers turn data gathered by vehicle electronic systems to the law enforcement. All it takes is a judge's order which is trivial to obtain.

I thought it was another hysterical fag/fag SJW Netflix dream lifestyle whose delusion didn't quite predictably measure up in reality so the bitch took the header off the cliff.

There's something odd with this story. Can't figure it out yet, but...

When the story first broke I thought it was the MSM looking for negative stories related to Musk Derangement Syndrome.

Then the MSM started running stories about how this family was a picture perfect family (passing around cookies and Christmas cards to all their neighbors) blah, blah.

Now Ohomen running with the story makes it even more suspicious
