Here are a few crime scene photos showing the tracks in the mud up the embankment.

Understandably, the original tracks were destroyed by the tow truck but, the angle in which JC's car was positioned is still evident in these pictures IMO.
In order to tow the car away, the tow truck driver would have had to line up the lift bed to the car. Chain the car, and then drag it onto the bed.
Looking at the angle of the tracks in relationship to Herron Road and the fence, it is my opinion that JC's car was traveling NE and made a sharp right turn towards the tree where it came to a stop. Contrary to that, if she simply pulled off to the side of the road "normally", she would have:
a.) pulled directly into the dirt driveway OR
b.) if she wanted to actually drive up the embankment, she would have driven in from Herron Road at much less of an angle.
IMO, the position in which her car was found is not natural (from either direction on Herron Road).
I'm yet to see any pictures of Herron Road where any skid marks were present. No skid marks, no brakes – for the most part.
If another car was traveling SW towards JC (traveling NE), it is possible that JC swerved hard and to the right to avoid a head-on collision. Being that her car did not slam into the tree leads me to believe that she was not speeding or driving too fast. The embankment would have also stopped her car as well and possibly cause JC to gash her head.
Was this possibly an accident? An accident with a cover-up? Did someone deliberately run her off the road? Could someone else have been in the car and pulled the steering wheel to the right causing the car to drive up the embankment?
We all know the final outcome but, how and why did her car end up where it did in the first place?
