Road conditions got the better of two drivers on Tuesday. According to the California Highway Patrol, Ryan Thornberry of Ceres was driving west on Hwy 88 east of Mormon Emigrant Trail at a reported speed of 35 miles per hour when his vehicle hit a patch of ice. Thornberry attempted to brake, causing his 2006 Chevy Avalanche to slide off the road, into a rock embankment and roll over, blocking a lane of the highway. Fortunately, 23-year old Thornberry was uninjured. Also on Tuesday, Jacqueline Alley of Ione was driving on Shakeridge Road at a reported speed of 45 miles per hour, an unsafe speed for conditions, according to a CHP report. Alley was unable to keep her car on the roadway, hit the dirt shoulder and veered across the road into a hillside, rolling her 1992 Oldsmobile onto its roof. Alley was taken to Sutter Amador Hospital with minor injuries.
