I have driven that road, several times.
That sharp drop-off is a real attention getter.

The van’s seat now has a permanent brown stain on it.

They got down the mountainside and found him sitting in the back seat of the van, teetering off a cliff.Sitting in the back seat? There's no question this guy was trying to do himself in ... this was no accident this was a unsuccessful suicide attempt.

This is OnStar...we have detected air bag deployment. Do you need assistance?

It looks like the truck jumped the culvert?
Has to be the luckiest person alive.

testing him?
But obviously they kept him from falling all the way down. Well the rock did, but you get my point....

"Did he back off the cliff?...the car is facing backwards.""...and the vehicle dropped, tumbled and rolled 120 feet before getting snagged on brush and a rock ledge."
Based on the pic and the text in the story, my interpretation is that he came from the left (running off the road from the lane closest to the cliff) rolled off the cliff edge directly above the van and landed wheels down on that little ledge.
