An important detail, according to the driver he didn't force her out. The girl got out after he pulled over to argue about / inspect the vomit and assess the situation.

"Tran argued that he responded reasonably to a perceived sudden emergency caused by the passengers' prior excessive drinking, of which he said he was unaware, & that he could not anticipate that Normandin-Parker would leave his vehicle and wander into traffic."

He created an unsafe situation by stopping at a gore point instead of driving a couple hundred feet down the offramp onto a surface street.

Pulling over on the side of the road is not typically considered unsafe. A gore serves that same purpose IMO.
