Yup, when I saw the initial report I wondered if it was a murder/suicide, or an extremely distracted or inattentive driver.
I've driven that section of Highway One South of Pacifica many times and it's narrow, so it could have been an accident, because lots of folks have gone over the cliff there and died over the years.
I hope the survivors of this family will be able to recover, and if the driver really did attempt to murder them, they should never get out of prison.
And the Hart family murder/suicide happened just about 20 miles North of my current town at my favorite turnout, which I now can't hang out at and enjoy the view anymore, too brutal of a memory.
I walked by the Hart family the day before the tragic event, they had just come out of our local ice cream shop, and couldn't help but notice them due to their mixed race.
As far as I recall, it was determined that it was only the driver who did it, as the rest of them had been heavily dosed with Benadryl.
The body of one child was never found.
Also, several years before that and about 10 miles further South, a mother drove her van off the cliff in a similar murder/suicide at Blues Beach.
I believe they all survived but the baby had permanent brain damage due to being upside down for hours before a local discovered them.
