Court record: Wife says California doctor purposely drove family off cliff

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (AP) — Newly unsealed court documents show that the wife of a California radiologist accused of trying to kill his family by driving over a cliff told rescuers he was depressed and needed a psychological evaluation. Her husband told investigators he was pulling over to check on a possibly flat tire when the Tesla surged over a San Mateo County cliff on Jan. 2. The man has pleaded not guilty to three counts of attempted murder. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 12. A judge will decide then if there’s enough evidence to move ahead with a trial.
