A California woman who drove off a cliff with her two children in a car last week is under arrest and faces attempted murder charges. 

The 38-year-old woman, who has yet to be named, was allegedly driving a Nissan sedan at a high rate of speed shortly after 8 a.m. last Friday in Santa Cruz before she crashed through a guardrail and wooden bench into Monterey Bay, authorities said.
