Black ice on a road in Sonoma County was the factor in two serious crashes that took place only a mile apart on Tuesday morning.
One car veered off the edge of Porter Creek Road, down a 25-foot embankment and slammed into the side of a home. A pregnant woman was in her bedroom at that moment, and was covered in shattered glass. Luckily, no one was injured.
“I’m very grateful my house has steel beams in it, and the steel beams saved my life and I’m very happy that myself and my baby are OK, my husband wasn’t home and everything is OK,” resident Christina Barber stated.
Another accident on the same road resulted in the crash of an SUV down the embankment. The driver had minor wounds.
