Investigators say dozens of people at a popular Northern California coastal overlook watched as an SUV drove through a parking lot without braking and then plunged off a cliffBODEGA BAY, Calif. -- Dozens of people at a popular Northern California coastal overlook watched as an SUV drove through a parking lot without braking and then plunged off a cliff into the rocks below, killing two women, investigators said Monday. The cause of the weekend crash was still under investigation, California Highway Patrol Officer David de Rutte said. Initial witness accounts indicated that the vehicle drove through a wooden barrier in a large parking area at the Bodega Bay’s Head Trail before it went off the cliff. “Witnesses saw the vehicle driving through the parking lot — and it just kept driving,” de Rutte said. Erin Aitken, a teacher and former colleague of Teixeira’s, struggled like many who knew her to make sense of the crash.
