Black Ice

Update: Dennis had surgery to repair a neck injury. He is now at home recovering. Thank you to everyone who has been thinking of him and his daughter.

My mom just called me from Southern California to tell me that her boyfriend, Dennis and his daughter had been in a bad car accident. They slid on black ice in Alpine on their way back from attending a funeral in Texas. Their car rolled off of an embankment and his daughter was thrown from the vehicle. Luckily both are doing fine. Dennis may need surgery to repair a broken cervical disk, but considering what happened, they are in good shape.

On the eve of a significant snowfall that will likely continue through both morning and evening drive-time, I wanted to remind to everyone heading out in this bad weather to be cautious while driving. And, please think of Dennis and his daughter as they recover.
