PESCADERO — A vehicle plunged off of a cliff and onto the sand of Pescadero State Beach late Thursday night, killing one and injuring two others, according to authorities.
Around 10 p.m. Thursday, the driver of a Kia Forte drove over the cliff from a parking lot adjacent to Highway 1 and Pescadero Creek Road, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Sophie Lu. The vehicle fell about 100 feet before landing on all four tires, partially in the water and partially in the sand.
One passenger was pronounced dead at the beach, Lu said. Two others, including the driver, were transported to a hospital with minor to moderate injuries.
Lu said the driver’s “state” is still under investigation, and officers believe it could be a possible DUI case.
