Why would he have left the road in the first place?It probably was going up over a ridge and he saw downhill as an easier path. Going downhill makes sense unless conditions are severe and you are unsure whether you are trapping yourself in doing such. In this case, that probably happened.

Maybe, but one should never leave a road for wilderness if one hopes to be rescued.

Well, yeah ... but the road has the advantage of going somewhere, offers the best possibility of meeting somebody, and is pretty much always visible from the air. If he had to leave the car at all, he should have stayed on the road, hill or not.
Sad.
