A CHP cruiser halts traffic on Highway 1 near Devils Slide. (July 26, 2024)
A third person was found dead on Saturday in a vehicle that went off a cliff off Highway 1 at Devil's Slide in San Mateo County on Friday, according to a California Highway Patrol spokesperson.
The vehicle was recovered on Saturday, allowing lanes to reopen on Highway 1 in both directions.
The highway was closed after a gray, two-door sedan went off the road and down a cliff south of the Tom Lantos Tunnels at about 11:40 a.m. Friday.
A Cal Fire team rappelled down to the vehicle and confirmed two people were deceased inside at the time.
CHP spokesman Caleb Benefiel said the crash remains under investigation.
