Emergency crews responded to a vehicle slide-off into the Coeur dAlene River Monday night on Silver Valley Road between Osburn and Silverton. Although the one occupant walked away with only minor injuries, officials stress that motorists need to remain cautious through the winter season. Even with warm weather during the day, night temperatures can dip below freezing and make previously safe roads hazardous. The driver of the vehicle stated that they slid roughly 100 yards before leaving the road way. Shoshone County Sheriffs Office captain Jeremy Groves says drivers should keep their guards up due to constant changing conditions and warns that if you start to slide on slick icy roads, remember not to over break or lock your breaks up if possible. Once breaks become locked up or excessive breaking occurs, he explains, it prevents the driver from being able to maintain steering or control of vehicle. He added that, the biggest tip this time of year is allow more travel time to your destination and keep slower speeds along with attention to changing weather.
