The driver was charged with attempted murder and child abuse after the crash injured his wife and two kids.
Neighbors had nothing but good things to say about the Patel family, which is why many were stunned when they learned the family's patriarch was charged with attempted murder. On Tuesday, the California Highway Patrol arrested Pasadena resident Dharmesh Patel for attempted murder and child abuse after he allegedly drove off a Northern California cliff with his wife and two kids in the car.
"This is shocking," said Newmark."My heart goes out to the family. And I know everybody on this block will come out and support everybody in the Patel family to get through this and do the best we can to ask for anything — we'll give it." Patel is currently being treated for his injuries and will be booked into the San Mateo County Jail once he's discharged from the hospital. "They moved in about five years ago and they are the sweetest couple and they have the greatest two little kids a daughter and son," said Newmark.
