An accident that occurred on Monday should remind us that icy roadways are still a concern even though temperatures have warmed up over the last couple of weeks. According to CHP Officer Patrick Ong’s report, Angela Jones, 40 and of Ione, was traveling on Hwy. 88 east bound west of Aqueduct Volcano Road, at 50 mph descending down a hill grade and approaching a curve to her right. Jones encountered black ice ON THE ROADWAY and as she braked for the curve she lost control of her vehicle. Her 2003 Chevy Tahoe ran off of the south side of the Hwy. and collided with an embankment which caused it to overturn and strike a sign. Jones had her two young children in the vehicle and thankfully everyone, including Jones was seat belted properly and no injuries were sustained as a result of the accident.
