VANCOUVER – Two Richmond residents, both 20 years old, have been fined after driving their new cars off the end of Clover Point in Victoria.

Police say they were called to Clover Point, along Dallas Road, at about 1 a.m. after reports from a witness who saw two cars drive off the end of the rocks, crashing about 40-feet below, add police.

When emergency crews arrived they found a 2015 Ford Mustang and a 2014 Infinity Q50 with heavy damage. The police estimated the cost of the cars to be more than $70,000.

The witness told police that both vehicles appeared to be speeding towards the turnaround and failed to stop or turn in time, causing them to go straight off the end.

Officers have ruled out impairment.

The drivers were issued tickets for driving without due care and attention.
