A deputy watching news footage of the crash spotted the license plate and discovered it didn't belong to the other missing couple's vehicle? Good for her, yikes for the officers in charge of the investigation.

A San Diego man and his wife, who have been missing for more than a week, are believed to have crashed off a Sequoia National Park cliff in nearly the same spot where two foreign exchange students plunged to their deaths last month, officials said.

A trail of car parts led investigators to the Kings River, 500 feet below a Highway 180 bend, where at least part of the couple’s car was located. Tony Botti, a spokesman for the Fresno Sheriff’s Department said the car is mostly submerged in white-water rapids, so they haven’t been able to determine if the vehicle is intact or if bodies are inside.

A team has been working to retrieve their bodies, but their vehicle is in a precarious spot, making the recovery mission difficult.

While watching news footage of the crash site, the deputy spotted a license plate, Botti said. It didn’t belong to the car of the exchange students, so she reported it to the California Highway Patrol. At that time, authorities didn’t know of the missing couple.

Once a missing persons report was filed, investigators learned of the license plate and discovered it belonged to the couple’s Ford Focus.

Botti said the crashes appear to be “a strange coincidence,” and that there is nothing particularly dangerous about that stretch of road. The crashes occurred about 50 feet from each other. Investigators aren’t sure why either crash happened.

I wouldn't be surprised if the common denominator is a black bear or deer standing in the road. They need to get a few park rangers out there to look around and see if wildlife have a habit of crossing on that section of highway. I live by a National Park and see deer daily. Certain stretches of road have Deer Crossing signs because these animals have movement patterns and sometimes "deer highways" intersect car highways.

Or Moose ... everyone thinks moose are stupid and docile creatures ... like Bullwinkle, but up North, moose are depicted as mean creatures that will fuck you right up ... kill you!

And because of the height of them, even if they are not attacking your car, if you hit them, the body will more than likely come through the windscreen and kill the driver and the front seat passenger..... People come to grief this way in Sweden and Norway all the time.
 
Where I live the deer are rutting and the bucks dart across the street chasing does like nobody's business. That is a very good theory @Kittyskyfish, an instinctual response is to swerve to miss an animal. Maybe that is what happened to both couples.
