A teenager learning how to drive accidentally sped off a 40-foot cliff during a driving lesson in California and killed the male relative who was teaching her.
The student driver was behind the wheel of a teal coupe when the crash occurred at around 4.10pm on Monday.
Dramatic images showed the vehicle on its roof at the bottom of a steep embankment.
Rescue crews in Laguna Beach were dispatched and found the car upside down on the South Coast Highway between Wesley and Montage Resort Drive.
A preliminary investigation found that the vehicle was being operated by a young driver with a learner's permit, according to a press release by the Laguna Beach Police Department.
