- Charges against California dad who drove family off cliff dropped after mental health treatment
Charges against Dharmesh Patel, a California radiologist who drove his family off a cliff in 2023, were dismissed after he completed a two-year mental health diversion program. Prosecutors had charged him with attempted murder following the crash, which injured his wife and two children, but a judge ruled the charges must be dropped under California's mental health diversion law.
