My guess is the service road cause I didn't see any damage on the guard rail up on 121. I don't see why the tow truck had a line running down from up top on 121. Seems it would have been easier to pull it down to the service road. Well now that Im thinking about it, maybe he was holdin it so it wouldn't start rollin down the hill.

To stop it from going any further down the hill while people wee in it or around it; brakes are not particularly effective on soft loose ground and a 40-50 degree downward angle.

2nd, most of the suv's have gotten larger and consequently have larger tires that would/do easily "climb" the concrete barriers and allow the vehicle to leave the road with no visible damage to the wall other than a black tire mark and a few scratches, I've seen it multiple times.

I can easily envision someone looked down texting or answering/writing an email and the vehicle drift either direction into the barriers and their over it.
I saw a woman (driving) bent over in the passenger seat drive right into the barrier. After the DPS questioned her, she said she dropped her phone was trying to reach for it on the passenger side foot well (floorboard).

Texting and driving shouldn't be illegal distracted driving already is and should be enforced.

Just because you pass a law doesn't mean people will stop... It is the enforcement that effects behavior.

Yes, I fully support behavior changing fines for distracted driving...

Ha! Go to California and take a look around and see how many people are talking or texting and driving.
