Here is the video of the car driving off the cliff.

YIKES!

I’m guessing suicide. Hope there were kids or other passengers.

[Texan Tory]

Just a guess, the car was not occupied, someone wanted to create a youtube video that would go viral.

“...desperately searching for an SUV and its occupants...”

A recovery operation, now. Looking at the aerial shot in the article, that’s a nasty road, and I’d bet there are more cars, trucks and motorcycles down in those rocks in the ocean.

It’s good to have a dashcam...

Thelma and Louise ... paging Thelma and Louise ... please pick up the aqua-phone.

[goldstategop]

Thelma and Louised.

[EEGator]

Suicide.

[G Larry]

Looks like an intentional Thelma and Louise moment.

High Speed, no braking or loss of control...

[dragnet2]

That car was simply following the state.

Doing their small part to help with climate change.

[heavy metal]

crash test dummies at it again...

[dgbrown]

I don’t buy it. They would have found the vehicle by now.

I’ve not spent much time in California and have only driven that road twice. I do remember thinking that it would be bad to speed. A guardrail on some of those clifftop curves might be a good idea, but I suppose that’s too close to building a wall for Californians to contemplate.

I don't claim to be a psychic or a forensic investigator, but I watched that film a number of times and my new age sensibilities plus some very careful angle/speed calculations say that the police should be looking in the water below. The car is in the water below. I know you're saying 'Hey come on! how could YOU know? You're just some guy, you weren't even there!" Mark my words: the car is down below, more specifically, in the water. Yes, the water below. Below what? Below the cliff where it left the road at a high speed.

Obvious glitch in the matrix

Fake news

When a car goes off the road, there is no lift on the front end of the car to keep it from obeying gravity and dipping down.

The video shows the car traveling nearly horizontally, for at least 2 car lengths after departing the earth and unsupported.

That type of effect happens in the movies with charges to lift the front end up until the rear leaves the surface.

Far easier for this to have been a Photoshopped video, cutting the object and pasting on top of the sky background.

Horrible. What a sobering video. Prayer for their loved ones.
