Incompetence
I have to give this guy credit. At least he has the right idea about wanting to get out of the gene pool. From the NPS Morning Report:

Colorado NM (CO) - Attempted Suicide

Rangers received a report of a vehicle in a canyon between Highland View
and Artist Point overlooks on the afternoon of May 20th. They found a white
sedan occupied by a 19-year-old man from Grand Junction, who admitted that
he'd deliberately driven off the road in an attempt to commit suicide. It
also appeared that he'd attempted to ignite the gas in the vehicle's tank
by lighting a rag in the gas port. A broken belt was found hanging in a
nearby tree, where it appeared that he'd attempted to hang himself after
the crash - a fact he confirmed later when talking with medical staff. He
also said that he'd attempted to electrocute himself a week earlier, but
without luck. He sustained numerous lacerations and contusions in the
accident and was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, where he is being held until
a psychological review can be completed.
