    You think so? What if one of them had a medical emergency or something?

    If I had to guess, those tracks are probably from them slamming their breaks on.

    There's no way that's intentional. The tracks go all the way over the edge. That, to me, says they tried to slam their breaks on but it was too late.

    If you head towards a cliff and you gun it, you don't drag your tires over the edge. You would sail out because momentum would carry you. They wouldn't have landed where they did. To me, it looks like they tried to slam their breaks on but couldn't stop and skidded over the cliff.

    I'm not sure. It was a Tahoe right? Limited slip rearend?

    If they were sitting there looking out and someone floored it I think that might explain the tracks. Digs in at first and spins the tires the whole time so no real speed is gained. Then as it goes over it is spinning the rear tires that are still spinning and drag over the edge.

    Intentional? Maybe

    I don't know if we'll ever know but to my amatuer detectiving it looks like the dirt is more disturbed at the start of the tracks and less disturbed at the edge of the cliff. That looks more like someone punched the accelerator and the SUV spun the tires in the loose dirt and gained traction as it accelerated. Slamming breaks tends to push the dirt forward so the tracks would get deeper as it moves towards the edge of the cliff, not shallower.

    Call it a dumb question but why the fuck isn't there a guard rail at that stop with a cliff dropping off like that?

    It's pretty easy to brake in sand too...not like it's black ice and you'd skid if you hit the brakes....could be the driver gunned it and the passenger tried to brake it as well

    I was wondering that as well...... but it also kinda looks like you're not supposed to drive in that area. There's those little coney looking things on the pulloff.

    I'm pretty sure the police put those up because that is a crime scene.

    Looks like someone was spinning the tires doing a burnout, then put medal to the peddle. Doesnt look like someone was trying to stop as Sly pointed out the tracks get thinner towards the cliff.

    Wait, so you spewed hate about lesbians. Got called out on it. Stated you hated the laws allowing gays and lesbians to get away with abusing their kids. You get called out again as there is no such law
    You agree. Then spew hate about immigrants? Dude
