SUV plunge off cliff may have been intentional, police say

An SUV carrying a family from Washington state accelerated straight off a California cliff, and authorities said the wreck may have been intentional.

Information pulled from the vehicle’s software shows it was stopped at a pull-off area before it sped off the rocky face and plunged 100 feet, said the California Highway Patrol.

Five members of the family were found dead. The search continued for three other children believed to have been in the vehicle.
