California medical regulators aren’t taking any chances on a Southern California radiologist accused of driving his Tesla sedan off a cliff near Pacifica in a desperate bid to kill his family.
The request, which was made with the help of an attorney with the California Attorney General’s office, was approved by San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Rachel Holt at a hearing Monday.Investigators suspect Patel drove his family off a cliff on Jan. 2 near Devil’s Slide along Highway 1, sending the car plunging 250 feet onto a rocky beach. Patel suffered injuries to his leg and foot, and his wife suffered more severe injuries.
In arguing that Patel be barred from practicing medicine, regulators cited comments made by Patel’s wife after she was rescued from the crumpled car. She told one emergency worker that Patel “did it on purpose,” adding later that “he drove off.”
