Does anybody know this area?
Could it have been the result of somebody taking a turn too quickly and sliding off the road?

No but a young boy in a Camaro? Yea I can see some joy riding gone bad.
Unlikely as the find was in the marina area. It’s not a place for normal operation/driving due to the parking area having empty boat trailers and tow vehicles.

Looking at Google, you can see that Route 44 is the only highway that runs right along the reservoir. It has a guard rail and a fairly wide embankment down to the water. Also, no sharp turn.
If they had managed to lose it and drive off 44, the guard rail would have been breached, and I would expect someone would have investigated. Or maybe there was no guard rail back then.
Other possibility: Behind the marina, there is a little picnic area with water on three sides and a road running through it. So, maybe it was nighttime, and they were drunk and screwing around back there and managed to drive into the water without leaving an obvious clue.
