Lodge and restaurant is right at about the junction of
Cold Canyon and Piuma Rd. It would be very easy for him,
particularly under the influence of a couple of drinks,
as reported, to get onto Piuma deliberately or accidently.
Both roads lead to Mulholland. It's not the 'wrong' direction,
just a more 'scenic route'. I own a home about a
mile from there.

LA Sheriff has the jurisdiction for accidents on Piuma,
not the CHP.

figures into the picture if he drove off the road on Piuma.
You 'Can' get to Carbon Canyon from Piuma but it's a pretty
convoluted trip.
