An Xterrible Accident

We were driving on the long, windy Bolinas-Fairfax Road when we came across this:
That is a toppled Nissan Xterra. It was empty, making it seem as if someone had stolen the car and then run away in a panic. The interesting thing is that I may be the only person with a picture of this event, making this actual BREAKING NEWS. And if I've learned anything from watching breaking news (or breaking newsgraphics, as the case may be), it's that no story can be drawn out long enough. Here we go!
The car was flipped right at the edge of Alpine Lake Dam. If the car was stolen, it seems the driver came from Bolinas, then made a sharp turn, causing the left side tires to climb up on the hill, tipping the car on its side in the wrong lane. We were just barely able to squeeze by and continue on to Mt. Tam, but on our way up, we saw a park ranger driving like a maniac with sirens on.
Other theories:
#1) A mental patient escaped from a nearby asylum. He tipped the car and ran around in the woods like a nutjob.
#2) Phil, Stu, Allen, and Doug had another bachelor party, this one in San Francisco. At around two in the morning, they got in a car and drove off. This theory would have been perfectly vindicated if there had been a tiger in the backseat.
#3) Aliens landed on the road. The driver panicked, swerved to miss the alien ship, and tipped his car. The aliens then took him into their ship for various forms of probing.
#4) The driver was incredibly high and is right now sitting in a tree down at Alpine Lake holding a stick, thinking it's the steering wheel.
#5) Loch Ness surfaced from the depths of Alpine Lake. The driver was understandably distracted. He was then eaten.
Any more theories? Leave them in the comments.
Bye!
