Around 10:15 AM on Saturday, I was involved in a five car ‘near accident’ on Squirrel Cove Road. It wasn’t a pile up because each of us managed to avoid hitting the other cars as we were sliding backwards. At least two of us went into the ditch to accomplish this.

Someone just sent in this photo which depicts four of the vehicles. The fifth was a little red car tucked in neatly behind the white truck at the back of the row.

Problem #1: The road is a sheet of ice

Problem #2: Most of us hesitated, usually for good reason (like avoiding hitting someone), at which point our vehicles started going backwards instead of forwards on the hill.

No one was hurt and, after we were rescued, every vehicle was able to drive off.

Buckets of gratitude to Ira Ellingsen and Ian King for pulling us out.
