Third person found dead after car plunges over cliff at Devil’s Slide – NBC Bay Area

A third person was found dead Saturday in a vehicle that plunged off a cliff Friday off Highway 1 near Devil’s Slide in San Mateo County, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.

The vehicle was recovered on Saturday, allowing lanes on Highway 1 to be reopened in both directions.

The highway was closed after a gray two-door sedan left the road and plunged down a cliff south of the Tom Lantos Tunnels around 11:40 a.m. Friday.

A Cal Fire crew rappelled down to the vehicle and confirmed that two people inside were dead at the time.

CHP spokesman Caleb Benefiel said the accident is still under investigation.
