UKIAH, Calif. (AP) — Authorities allege a Northern California mother tried to kill her two young sons by intentionally driving off a 300-foot cliff, injuring both children.

Mendocino County sheriff’s officials say 35-year-old Athena Renee Doyle was arrested on a warrant in Humboldt County on Friday in connection with the Oct. 3 crash that injured her and her two boys, ages 2 and 4. She is facing two felony counts of attempted murder.

Sheriff’s Capt. Greg Van Patten tells the Press Democrat of Santa Rosa (http://bit.ly/1umV5Lr ) that an investigation determined Doyle intentionally drove her SUV down the cliff, where it came to rest on its roof on a beach. Doyle and the boys were hospitalized.

It wasn’t immediately clear Monday whether Doyle had an attorney.
