Make sure he's on Thorn Creek Road, and at a minimum, just see if he can back down by the DMV.

It's going to be more of an issue for towing or state road to get up there and treat the roads so he can get out.

If it's on Thorn Creek Road and unable to move, it's going to require either state road or towing.
