The speedometer of a Washington state family’s SUV was “pinned” at 90 mph when the vehicle was found Monday afternoon, crushed along the rocks of a Northern California shoreline, court documents say.
Authorities included the information in an affidavit for a search warrant for the home of Jennifer and Sarah Hart, adoptive parents of six children -- all of whom are believed to have perished when the vehicle plunged off the Pacific Coast Highway, Fox 12 Oregon reported.
The two women and three of the children were found dead at the crash site Monday, but it was unclear how much time had elapsed between the accident and the discovery.
Three other children are missing and may have been carried out to sea, authorities have said.
The family had been living in Oregon until last year when they moved to Woodland, Wash.
Meanwhile, law enforcement officers believe "a felony has been committed" in the case, the court documents say.
The exact nature of the suspected felony was not known, but according to the documents, "Based upon the California Highway Patrol investigation, it is their belief ‘a felony has been committed,’” Fox 12 Oregon reported.
However, authorities maintain there’s no evidence to suggest the crash was intentional, the Oregonian reported.
The court documents indicate that CHP investigators found no “acceleration marks, tire friction marks or braking furrow marks” at the scene, and there was no evidence the car collided with the embankment as it “traversed towards the tidal zone below,” Fox 12 reported.
According to the Oregonian, friends’ depictions and social media posts of the Hart family are at odds with police records.

That would be the odds-on favorite.
I would add, something horrific to boot.
They might just be ill-trained and/or dumb.
The speedometer is pegged therefore the vehicle was going 90.
Was the car an antique? What kind of cars these days has a mechanical speedometer? What cars have speedometers that only go to 90 that were built after the Jimmy Carter rules? And would any car with a speedometer like that actually be able to get to 90? And back to the first question. They didn’t have SUVs back then - they had minivans.
Yes. I broke a drive axle after the sensor and the speedometer read 25 when the car was just sitting there. In fact, that's what made the mechanic say "axle" rather than "tranmission". He then popped the hood and pointed out the snapped axle to me.
It sounds like lesbian parents went more crazy and took down other peoples’ kids with them
This was murder/suicide.
Yes agreed. Who knows though what they were actually up to.
Overdone "virtue signaling".
Once the car went air-born, wouldn’t the drive wheels spin much faster due to loss of friction? (Assuming the driver’s foot was still pressing on the gas)
—
They might stop spinning altogether if the car had a limited-slip differential. Once airborne, the wheels would sense loss of traction and the anti-slip system would kick in to release the wheel from the drive.

Those poor children apparently never got a break in life. I weep for them but they are in paradise this Easter morning celebrating with our Lord. Not so much their killers.
“I was thinking along the lines of “Thelma and Louise,”....
That entered my mind as well. Perhaps the driver fell asleep, which might be another possibility.
Unfortunately, the media is attempting to blame the victims for what was clearly faulty accelerator.
How many more will die in similar, horrific accidents due to the negligence of this vehicle manufacturer./s
My Sienna can. That sucker's fast AF.
i doubt it... but the time between leaving the ground and landing, if they had their foot on the accelerator, im surprised it didnt read faster...
If you pass out, do you press on the gas?
I’ll say Prayers to the victims...
well damn!! I was buyin it until i seen the /s !! lol
“You can’t choose your parents”. Very unfortunate in this case.
Six more innocent American children falling victim to liberalism.
Days before the fatal crash, the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services opened a case into the family because the children had been identified as “potential victims of alleged abuse or neglect,” the Oregonian reported. The agency had attempted to contact the family but they had reportedly left home that day.
