A woman transporting 4 dogs slid off a well-iced stretch of Highway 88 on Monday morning. Passersby and emergency responders assisted in recovering the animals from the vehicle and returning them back into their transport crates. Fortunately, there were no injuries to the driver or to any of the dogs. Caltrans arrived on the scene after the accident to lay down sand and put up road flares on the very icy section of roadway. Witnesses at the scene wondered why sand and flairs marking the hazard were not already in place since Caltrans employees must drive this section of the highway on their way to get to the Caltrans station in Pine Grove.
