US court clears Indian-origin doctor of attempted murder charges after mental health treatment
Charges have been dismissed against Dharmesh Patel, an Indian-origin physician who steered his Tesla off a 250-foot cliff in 2023 while his wife and two children were passengers. The legal action was dropped following his successful completion of a two-year mental health diversion program, which addressed the "psychotic breakdown" he experienced at the time. Authorities previously described the survival of all four family members as an "absolute miracle."
