Pleasanton Schoolteacher and Her Mother Die After Driving Off Bodega Bay Cliff While Onlookers Watch
A bizarre incident happened in front of multiple onlookers at a popular vista point in Bodega Bay on Saturday, and it ended the lives of a 41-year-old teacher from the East Bay and her 64-year-old mother.
The two women were in a vehicle that plunged off a cliff and landed upside down on some rocks below, and the circumstances of the incident remain under investigation.
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office on Monday identified the victims as 41-year-old Elizabeth Correia, a Dublin resident and first-grade teacher at Lydiksen Elementary School in Pleasanton for the last 16 years, and her mother, 64-year-old Maria Teixeira. Teixeira worked as lead custodian at Montevideo Elementary School in San Ramon.
