Speedometer 'pinned' at 90 mph as SUV carrying family plunged off a cliff, report says

The speedometer of the SUV that authorities said was carrying a family of eight — two parents and six adopted children — was "pinned" at 90 mph when it plunged off a California cliff last week, according to court documents obtained by a local TV station.

Fox affiliate KPTV in Oregon reported that this indicates the vehicle remained in motion after it fell and just before it hit the rocks 100 feet below on the Pacific Coast Highway. Investigators also did not find any marks showing that the vehicle either accelerated or slowed down before it reached the cliff, or any evidence that it crashed into the embankment as it "traversed towards the tidal zone below," according the documents cited by KPTV.

Suicide / murder.

...once heiled as a great mother, she couldnt handle it when the kids came out saying she was slapping them around... So in a fit of rage, she killed them, along with herself.

That's my best guess.

I saw that story. And I've ridden on that road. No place for flooring it. Sounds like a suicide. So sad that the children were taken as a result.

Just saw the story this morning. What a horrid story and an atrocious end to young lives. Awful.
