At right, on Wednesday morning, May 21, a minivan driven by Mary Davis of Twin Pines went about 60 feet over the very steep side of Highway 243 about a mile north of the Forest Service Alandale Station. She was entirely unhurt. Davis said her car began to slide and went over nose first, and she just drove it straight down the slope with manzanita slowing her to a stop. Her work friend, Cindy Hansen, arrived to take her into Idyllwild where both women work as caregivers. Emergency vehicles responding included Cal Fire Engine 23 from Pine Cove, Idyllwild Fire, Forest Service, California Highway Patrol, Riverside County Sheriff and Idyllwild Garage.
