A historic Death Valley tower toppled as a driver used it to free their stuck vehicle, rangers say.
Sometime between April 1 and April 23, the tower, part of the Saline Valley Salt Tram, “was pulled over while a person used a winch to extract their vehicle out of deep mud,” the National Park Service said in a May 13 news release.
“I hope the person responsible for this damage will contact us so we can discuss restitution,” Superintendent Mike Reynolds said in the release.
Tracks showed that a vehicle drove off the legal roadway shortly before getting stuck, rangers said.

The 13-mile long aerial tram was constructed in 1911 “to transport salt from Saline Valley to Owens Valley,” rangers said.
