This afternoon California Highway Patrol, Hopland Fire, and Cloverdale responded to reports of a vehicle spotted hundreds of feet down an embankment abutting the southbound lane of Highway 101 near Frog Woman Rock.
The vehicle, appearing to be a white truck, came to rest tangled in the foliage along the Russian River. Skid marks were visible on the pavement above the area where the truck came to rest.
California Highway Patrol’s Public Information Officer Olegario Marin told us after the vehicle was located, authorities commenced a search out of concern the occupant might have been ejected during the crash.
The engine was cold and it was unclear how long the vehicle had been next to the river, Officer Marin told us.
Hopland Fire Chief Mitch Franklin said swift water rescue personnel were deployed to search the Russian River for any sign of the occupant but did not locate anything related to the incident.
CHP’s Officer Marin told us follow-up investigations are ongoing to determine what became of the vehicle’s occupant.

This may be disposel of a vehicle. Stolen or overdue payments. I have seen this often in junk yard history. There would be blood if a person was inside during that plunge.
Skid marks show evidence of an accident and not a dumped vehicle

After the ride came to a stop the driver climbed out and wandered off? DUI almost a certainty .
Wow a lot of speculation or inside info. I didn’t see anything here that showed blood inside vehicle or not, or skid marks on the road or not.
Based on the aforementioned testimony and vehicle description there is hardly a doubt and I am surprised no one else sees this. ALIEN ABDUCTION hello!
