Fox News reported:
Attempted murder charges against a California radiologist who allegedly intentionally drove his vehicle with his family off a cliff were dismissed Monday.
A San Mateo County judge tossed the charges against Dharmesh Patel, 45, following reports from doctors that he was doing well in the mental health program he was initially ordered to complete, FOX San Francisco reported.
In July 2024, Patel, who worked in Pasadena, was ordered to complete a two-year mental health diversion program while living at his parents’ Belmont home on a GPS monitor.
In January 2023, he was driving his Tesla on the Pacific Coast Highway in San Mateo County when he drove off Devil’s Slide in Pacifica, plunging him and his family 300 feet.
First responders were forced to cut his family, including Patel’s 41-year-old wife, 7-year-old daughter, and 4-year-old son, out of the wreckage. Everyone survived.
