An SUV carrying a large, free-spirited family from Washington state accelerated straight off a scenic California cliff and authorities said Sunday night the wreck that is believed to have killed all eight family members may have been intentional.

Information pulled from the vehicle’s software shows it was stopped at a flat, dirt pull-off area before it sped off the steep rocky face and plunged 30 metres, said Captain Greg Baarts with the California Highway Patrol Northern Division.
