Hijacked cabbie watches as man drives his cab over cliff.

A taxi driver whose car was hijacked at knifepoint on Boxing Day watched the thief plunge to his death from a 120ft cliff. Brian Tate, 41, who was forced out of his car by a man in his 20s, saw his vehicle being driven over the cliff at Marsden Grotto car park in South Shields and crashing on to rocks below. He called the emergency services. The young man, who died instantly, had not been identified by police yesterday. A resident said: "A number of people have died after trying to take their lives and jumping over.

Quote:

There are signs on the coast asking people to ring the Samaritans if they are in despair."
