US truck driver slides down icy road
A US truck driver has been forced to slide his jack-knifed vehicle down an icy mountain road after his trailer's brakes locked.
California Highway Patrol officers closed the road and escorted the truck down, making it to a safe place 20 minutes later.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
